There are a lot of messages that I can                   It’s pretty universal to meet everyone
       think about, but the one I always                        and everything from exactly where
       come to is to meet everyone from                         they/it is and this has been a good
       where they are, meet everyone from                       approach for me.
       exactly where they are.


       Not where they should be, or where
       they could be...not where you think
       they out to be, or even where they
       think they out to be, but from exactly
       where they are and really listening to
       what they are saying, and how they
       are saying it which are all indicators

       of where they are mentally,
       physically, and financially.

       I taught drum lines in high school for
       many years. Every single kid
       attempting to do the same thing, but

       the trick is to meet every kid exactly
       where they are. Maybe this kid has
       never held sticks before, and this
       other one is a better player than I
       am. And then you have to put them
       together meeting them where they
       are and having them do things that

       are appropriate to where they are.

       This always comes to mind in any
       given situation when it comes to
       communicating with another person
       or group which is what the human
       experience is all about is making

       connections with one another.

       Even things such as meeting this land
       from where it is. Before any of this
       was here there was just the
       wilderness and so you can’t just come
       here and instantly start farming you

       need to meet it from where it is and
       prepare it just as you would with any
       person.
