What you say in
Pay no attention to what I have to say about conversation; rather to what you have to say in conversation . . . and hear.

Slow conversation?
Slow conversation? Can we grow here? Can we get out of the way of what might be? In conversation, how do we slow ourselves so we can savor this conversation? Is there something to do beyond savoring? Slow gives us opportunity to examine the wings of complexity within our reach. Slow helps us see the individual leaves of the tree, perchance see a dandelion or two as we pedal past. How too might we slow the reader of our book? One book puts the footnotes on the left side page, and goes into more detail on the context of the main text on the right page. Could we in conversation pull in more context by making notes on side pads?

Cultivate larger
Cultivate a sense of the larger conversation. The future can open out of that—we cannot control it, we can open for it.
