Be clear and committed to what you care about. Connect to that care. Stay with that care. It has an awareness from center, through the other, through the ground. This connection, its attractiveness, is the source of everything that needs to happen. From this connection, when I stay with it, something real and wonderful unfolds without effort or technique. By the way, standing to the side, watching, thinking, judging, planning–these practices are not the practice of connecting.
