From "Connected (with Abe + Isaac) — Volume 34"
## A small thought
Think of *nurture* as something that we give ourselves. Think of it as the way in which we may choose to hold ourselves, gently, lovingly, unhurriedly, as we patiently and adoringly await our own unfolding, as something precious emerging, perfectly, in its own time.
What relationship does this have to our personal drive? As a caretaker nurtures their charge, until they are *ready* to live on their own terms, what is the interplay between our own self-nurture, and .. what, our readiness to leave our own nest? What does it mean to “emerge”? And if we take ourselves with us, can we then exist in a superposition of *wait* and *make*?
-Isaac
P.S. These thoughts prompted by [Nurture](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAZNU5fM7FIC4ruXQhKjpuvP0AByhc0bl), a new album—after seven years’ time—from Porter Robinson. Strongly, strongly suggest [watching the live show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?list=PLAZNU5fM7FIC4ruXQhKjpuvP0AByhc0bl\&v=THjekE5p2aw).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.
## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://www.isaacbowen.com/2021/05/07.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
