Thinking out loud, and being listened to, is like watching? Experiencing? The flow of water from a natural spring. I’ve actually seen one, when I was a young lad at Red Rock Lake (summer camp for me whilst growing up)
We were on a path through the woods! And there by the trail was a little pool of water.
A good listener! Here’s something to illustrate what I mean>
Someone had obvs happened upon it before us, because there, propped up on a rock, was a PVC pipe, when we pulled it over clear, cool water flowed out! Our Sherpa let us know what it was, and we had a taste! Safe to drink.
Letting the water flow, will create a stream? I mean think about it here. Someone interfered – nicely – with nature here! Who knows what was prevented?!? A lake? A stream? A River? The river that salmon returning to spawn would be searching for?!?
If the pressure from the spring overcame gravity enough to flow out the hoisted end… it would do so, so let’s just settle down here
That PVC pipe is what I mean when I say what I have to say about SHOULD… may it one day rest in peace.
A good listener is like the one who gently places the PVC pipe parallel to the earth, and lets the water flow!
