Under the right conditions, freezing water makes delicate crystals with complex geometry. Under other conditions, it makes a solid block of clear ice.

How can you create the conditions you need to create today?

Any work space I inhabit is bound to be covered in sticky notes. Reminding me do to things, capturing great ideas that I don’t want to lose, goading me to create, to explore, to remember, to connect.

What are the signs of creativity around you?

The box of blocks is a box of possibilities. What can be built with it? It is also a box of limitations, for the things that can be built depend on the shapes and colors available.

What are the possibilities and limitations you are facing today?

Many people find that occupying their hands with knitting helps their brains pay attention to what is around them better.  Perhaps you have been in classrooms or training environments where colleagues sat there knitting (or perhaps you were knitting with them) in order to be fully present.

What can you do to help yourself be more present to your surroundings today?

“Together we create.” We often require the assistance of others as we seek to create, and the creations made in relationship and community are often better than those done alone.

What is it that you need others to create today? How can you do it together?
