The old way of creating seeks to control and refine, rather than observe and resonate. This impulse to refine and control is a creative instinct — but it can also pull apart the living wholeness of a vision. Nature practices it, but not through dissection like humans often do, but rather through exploration. I remember a tree growing out of a rock, and tracing its roots down long horizontal cracks. It clung to the rock because, against that hardness, it chose the path of least resistance. It found those openings through curiosity and pushing out, rather than drawing in.
