not so sure that there is such a thing as 'loving indifference'.
Love ispassionate, creative, life force and more.
Love plus detachment from outcome is a useful way for the facilitator to

i learned this from harrison years ago. it's like you say, loving
indifference to what actually happens, but not indifferent about finding
out.

that there will be limited outcomes. And so I encourage you to think
