Recognize curiosity by seeing the specific merit in every uttered word. Recontextualize a habitual communicative action into a deliberate act of connection. Allow this tiny beginning to gently widen into something richer over time. 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.

A question for you

One small invitation
