Before you’ve decided anything, the work has already begun to move. Your hand reaches, and a first line appears. Only then does the thinking mind arrive to ask whether it’s any good. This episode stays with that first motion: the one that starts beneath your plans and tends to know where it’s going before you do. On trusting the first move, and getting out of its way.
Your host, Sōkei, is a Zen teacher and artist and the creator of Creative Life in Contact, a body of work that helps creatives draw on direct experience as the source of a vibrant and genuine creative life.
