Grateful: Mirror

I entered a conversation not because I knew what I was thinking, but because I didn't. My mind was filled with stories and ideas and questions, not well-ordered. That's when a hello became a question became a conversation as I sought clarity. My partner in the interaction was hospitable, creating space for undeveloped thoughts and, in the process, helping them to take shape. When I left that shared space a little while later, I saw more clearly, understood better, and felt more at ease. I am grateful.
