I don’t know how to join in.

When I first came here,

We had no shared understanding.

Whatever you were discussing, I was completely outside it.

I did not know what you were doing. I had no way to connect with you.

I could not contribute anything. I could only watch.

Then why did you not ask?

How could I ask? I did not even know

what he meant by experience. I had no idea what any of it was.

I did not know what we were dealing with.

What should I say? I do not know where to begin.

But you’re speaking now.

He Fa kept asking me to speak. I did not know what to say.

All I could say was: ask me something, and then I can answer.

That’s why we interact. It got you talking.

First, someone needs to tell me where each of you is coming from.

Then I can explain where I am coming from. After that, we can develop together.

There was no single designated director.

We direct each other.

Then we need to share our methods.

You offer your instincts to each other.

Maybe we have instincts, but no methods to share.

Yes.

Is that the problem?
