Recognize connection by seeing the specific merit in every uttered word. Respect where your conversational comfort ends and another's begins completely. Trust the slow accumulation of shared understanding over rapid disclosure. Let connection meet perspective in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you notice a quiet source of support.
