The Act of Introducing Something New

TCG Circle: When we are creating something new it is essential to recognize what we know versus what we still don’t know. Or rather what we have yet to discover. Uncover. Create. At the beginning we are standing in the middle of a dark, wide-open field of unknowns. Instead of going running away screaming into the dark night, we must turn on lanterns of knowns and little by little we start accumulating questions and new findings around them. These islands of light shine on our initial potential. How will these far away islands ever connect? We can’t know quite yet, but we hold absolute faith that they will somehow begin to migrate toward one another as our process unfolds. We can not waste precious time worrying about what it will be. We can simply invest – one flicker at a time – in how it can come to be. Then together, we are on our way.
