Approach reflection while holding a deliberate breath before any mark is made. Allow this nascent idea its freedom from critical judgment and heavy completion. The dedication to the small act builds the foundation for what will emerge later. Let curiosity meet connection 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.
