"'Direction' does suggest something more than advice-giving and problem-solving. It implies that the person who seeks direction is going somewhere and wants to talk to someone on the way. It implies, too, that the talk will not be casual and aimless, but apt to help them find their way." (The Practice of Spiritual Direction, Barry & Connolly)
