responds to us
We are given backbone and brain, will and muscle: we face G*d and say our mind and heart: we yet live and G*d responds to us, changes. Little children are not simply disciplined by their parents but their parents are also affected by them, change, grow.

conversations and peak experiences
Conversations that matter open space for peak experiences: giving wholly, living wholly, being the one you came here to be, taking critical part in something larger.
:- Doug.
increased self-respect
Opening space for conversations that matter leads naturally toward increased self respect. This may stem from being heard (hearing others’ respect for one’s self) and hearing the good one offers and bubbling to the surface more of the good of one’s self. Whatever the cause, conversation leads to more humor, coming together, ideas, and if Maslow is correct, beauty. Said the other way around: that conversation is best which opens the participants to laughing, contributing, loving, living, opening, idiosyncrasy-ing, truth-telling, beauty, good-making.
