loved this

curious, when do you think it is the right time to switch from creating to building?

i'm not totally sure and i think it depends on the person and their depth of knowing. this is something i'm actively navigating now. i can tell you from my / our last experience that it's not a matter of days ;) i sense that i will build again at some point. and my hope is to let the creative impulse guide the way...and partner with someone who loves to build as much as i love to create.

10/10 question. Seems like a great one to live into right alongside side Steves. "Does this want to be in creation or be built?"

Our culture has this need to monetize everything. We focus on building more rather than needing less. What our souls need is often so much smaller if we are brave enough to listen.

Love that you're exploring this area! Very alive in me as well. What is right relationship with vision?

I've had almost this exact conversation with two clients this week, in different shapes. One on how the minds impulse to figure things out cuts off the creative impulse/incubation. Another how we can get lost in the "what could be" and lose the grounding containment of "what is" - grounded so beautifully in your question "what wants to be expressed here", to which I might add "right now". Have been eating a heaping helping of this for myself
