The Eighteen Convergent Patterns

11. Routing to practice as a closing move

When a moment threatens to extend into more conversation than the moment calls for, the closing move is movement toward practice rather than continued articulation. The exit is into doing something, not into saying more about it.

The relational particulars through which this pattern first became visible remain private. This page stays with the form of the pattern and the interpretations it opens.
