Let’s waste time together
No agenda
No purpose
Speaking from the heart
Musing in the silence
One of us speaks, both listen
Good listeners
Hearing one another’s hearts
Approaching soul truth “on the slant” through the use of third things helps create a circle of trust. But we make or break that circle by the way we speak, listen, and respond to each other about a poem, a topic, a feeling, or a problem. Here we are governed by that simple but countercultural rule, “No fixing, no saving, no advising, no setting each other straight.”
Parker Palmer, “A Hidden wholeness”
