I listen well, taking in as much detail as I can out of respect towards the friendship.
When I reach a point where I feel there's been some breakthrough, I'm going to push hard in order to attempt to ascertain where to go from there. I see it as a plateau where there's a wide vista from which opportunities abound.
I play my cards close to my vest because Silases aren't supposed to even have cards. But that's an illusion. It seems that way due to how much Silases are called to listen.
What's cool (& very rare) is when the man I'm serving as a Silas towards begins to mirror this same MO towards me. From there, mutual, equalized trust begins to form, and within this trust is a constant, symmetrical push / pull.
It's these friendships which are such a gift.
