If you hope
to get what you want,
frame it as a problem
to solve.
If you hope
to get what you didn’t know you wanted,
frame it as a paradox
to be dissolved.

Receiving and Giving vs Being and Creating
May we ask
whether we desire
being
and creating with someone
or giving to
and receiving from them.
The more we want to give to,
or receive from someone,
the harder it can become
to be
or to create with them.
Being
or creating with someone
requires being present,
without expectation,
suspending our need
to fulfill a need,
and instead
letting emergence guide us
through uncertainty.
Creating vs Manufacturing
You didn’t create
unless the form of the output
was unexpected.
If it was,
then you were manufacturing.
Nothing wrong with either,
but it can be frustrating
if you enter the manufacturing process,
with the desire to create
or if you enter the creative process,
with the desire to manufacture.
