Kindness

Sometimes, in a rush to get things sorted, or in excitement for another's progress, or seeing the sparkling insight just a little further ahead...

We can push too hard.

And then we need to ask ourselves: is it kind? Is it appropriate? What is the context?

Knowing one's tendency helps. Mine is not to hang back, but to leap in. Patience & restraint will be life-long in the learning. For another, perhaps the opposite is true.

Anyway, it seems a return to the Taoist classics is what's needed for me.
