Breath Pattern

Every conversation has a shape and form. In the beginning things are opening up to possibilities (divergence). In the middle is the the “groan zone” where we’re processing. New insights and possibilities are emerging.

Think of making a banana bread: we bring ingredients together and combine them into something that can’t be taken apart again. And if we take it out too soon it’s mush. The convergence stage is the beginning of clarity. The breath is closing, and the banana bread is baked.
