Recognize curiosity by seeing the specific merit in every uttered word. Consider what small improvement would allow for a deeper, slower exchange. Let the pace settle into its own natural rhythm, regardless of urgency. Let purpose meet care in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you separate an intention from an expectation.
