I generate
If one assumes that "the nature of knowledge is fractal: The closer you get, the more you'll find", it is no surprise that anything one sufficiently becomes aware of (thinks, feels), serendipitously appears more and more all around us: Think of that unique idea or desire you've been privately developing for weeks, when suddenly you discover that countless fully fleshed out manifestations of it already exist in the world. Confirmation bias? I have my doubts. In a reality with no real boundary between individuals and past-present-future, where everything is generated at the speed of awareness, a central question is what is worth while doing at all. Faced with an infinite ocean of possibilities, shifting from "doing" to "being" is a useful strategy to prevent succumbing to nihilism and insanity. Simply focus on relaxing, the rest will take care of it self.

Everyday Magic
For some repairs around the house, had 2 handyman here the past 2 days. The first one's appearance was surprisingly similar to a gnome. The second one's atmosphere was strikingly similar to a enlightened monk. Both had peculiar smells and looks. Even though our interactions were brief, both handyman shared words of wisdom as parting gifts which impacted my consciousness profoundly. In this magical universe we live in, one never knows when and where the blessing will appear from. Always be ready.

On creativity
Creativity is fundamentally a question of commitment. Of saying "yes!" to a solution amongst an infinite amount of possibilities - Of recognizing, accepting and giving birth to a new living pattern. Generating the artifact is the easy part, getting easier with each passing year. Telling the story behind an artifact and making it meaningfully part of the collectives imagination is an ongoing practice and magical art form.
