On several trips I have been drawn into the artists who allow us tourist-voyeurs to watch a handcraft being formed. Once I get past the They-just-want-us-to-buy thoughts, I become intrigued by the experience: we are in the presence of a Creative Moment.
Are you surrounded by structures that encourage creativity? |
The work seems so pain-stakingly slow in today's standards. But, at the same time, the skillfulness of the artist and creator draws me in... especially when one or more rows need to be disassembled and corrected. Watching, I see no signs of being upset or frustrated. Instead, the focus is on the overall vision.
Do we have the patience to sit, create, and wait? |
And now, time for the sell! In our dialogue work, are we willing to:
- Sit and listen to Stories Unfolding?
- Correct -- or redo -- Conversations Unintended?
- Be amazed at the outward and inward Creations Revealed?
What are we selling? |
May this week provide moments of weaving interesting stories!
