Yes, Olen, I agree.
It¹s the ³either/or² dichotomy that hangs us up. That¹s why I embrace the
creating process. It embraces both the vision and reality (just as it is,
describing it, not judging it as ³problems²). It¹s the ability to hold both
vision and reality in mind that gives rise to creative tension, the
container for creating, and much of the energy that powers acts of creating.
Cheers!
