Maha, I agree, Garner coins such exquisite turns of phrase. I too am captured by his using the gerund “opening” rather than open. It gives such a sense of promise and possibility, of opening to the future like a plant leaning towards the sun. Just think of the richness that comes from sincere engagement and connection with each others’ truths, information, and passions in a way that creates openings for changes not merely at a personal or professional practice level but at organizational and societal levels!
