quiet attentiveness
a gentle coming alongside
less ME
careful not to hinder
not inserting myself between my child and the Holy Spirit
joy & peace
seeking strengths vs. a focus on weaknesses
letting go
grace

The friends new and old, the shared ideas, the atmosphere-- all full of beauty.
I think I'll have more to say about what I learned... later.
