Regarding purpose, grant the developing thought a small, respectful area to settle. Hold the space between the start and stop to gather your internal knowing. Respecting this small border honors your capacity to begin anew later. Let expression meet curiosity in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you identify what is already useful.

A question for you
