This blog explores the edges between that which is known and that which is emerging; multiple dimensions of creativity, emergence and meaning; and the practical - and impassioned! - applications of creative process within life, work, business and serving the whole. Posts are for both the head and the heart.
Many years ago I was in an "est" course created by Werner Erhard and Fernando Flores. They introduced the terms "Conversation for Possibility" and "Conversation for Action." Many people I've worked with have gained a powerful insight from this simple distinction. The former is described succinctly by your post. When I get into the "how" or "action" stage too quickly I can rain all over my emerging, exciting parade. You've described a powerful way to begin to form great outcome. Thank you, Michelle.
