Time in between
Beautiful interview with third row, the three founders have a sweet place in my heart and it was lovely to hear their voices and process. Especially enjoyed resonated with theNotion that time in between for things to sift reveals other possibilities creative thought etc. I find that so true in life and in my coaching work with artists in general helping them to see that moments in between-When's so much is unknown - has a creative function and purpose.
