When curiosity is near, distill your emerging idea into the most plain language available. Detect a small, unassuming source of support within this waiting period. Embrace this openness so a fresh thought can gently surface unbidden. Let connection meet expression 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.
