And I know that some people do not enjoy a long talking circle. But sometimes it happens that the conversation moves into a deeper level, and people are doing the kind of reflective musing that we rarely take time for in our fast-paced lives. And even when it is not a deep conversation, I find a certain beauty in watching people who feel, for the moment, free to say what is on their minds without interruption. It's a rare opportunity to practice acceptance and unconditional love, and I believe that is a positive contribution to the world, even when it does not lead to any tangible accomplishment.
