React to the situation. Feel the danger (many dangers—saturated fat, drunk driving, not making deadlines, law school—don’t feel dangerous). Start where you are. People give what they have to give. Be specific about my needs. Let go, let God. If you’re not now here, you’re nowhere. Play the hand I’m dealt. Own less, love more. One is too many; a hundred aren’t enough. Nothing too much. Only connect. Be a haven.
