First and foremost, we're delighted that learning continues at Thorncliffe Park, and that the garden is a gift that keeps on giving.

Your essay is intriguing. We do tend to see in black and white/either or/best process. Neil Young and Jack Kerouac (create and move on) or Tool and Donna Tartt (work for a decade and move on). Are there new ideas or just collections of ideas to newly discover? Much to think about, for those whose minds are not necessarily already made up. :)

I love thinking about this Timothy. Seeing ideas in different ways makes me think of something I just read about how we keep seeing history and the past in different ways. Are these new ideas or ones that were always there all along but we didn't have the consciousness yet to see them?

Isn’t it beautiful when, while writing, you find the macro via the micro?

Thanks for another great piece Nadia!

Yes! You're so right! The process is such a mysterious paradoxical beautiful thing. So happy to hear we're both obsessed with it :)
