The Direction
What are our tools? Well, one is the direction. The direction can be expressed in words. It can be expressed in lipstick on your shaving mirror. It can be expressed in your posture, in your attitude. As counselor, you don’t have to say, “Take this phrase,” though sometimes that’s not a bad idea. You can say, “Ah, L—! There you are!” There’s an attitude being expressed there, there’s a direction.

From the July 1986 Peace and
Disarmament Activists’ Workshop
