>> feel comfortable. Never push and force expression in others or yourself.
>> Learn how to wait with a belief that every person will become involved when
>> the time is right. Invite expression but don't judge people who may be
>> warming-up or preparing themselves on the sidelines. *Trust that
>> something significant is always moving inside them.*"

> Which of course is so Open Space-y too.
