Mostly it is a time to do whatever you do as though it were an element in an elaborate and ancient ritual and to do it with your total attention. For once in your life, you don’t have to produce results or accomplish anything. If you are happy, be happy. If you are bored, be bored. If you are lonely or sad, be lonely or sad. There is not some better reaction you could be having to the experience. Whatever you are feeling is you, and you’re there to be alone with that very person.
