Something in your work shifts. Maybe a color goes somewhere unplanned, a line drifts, or a project stops behaving as expected. The reflex is instant: something’s wrong, something needs fixing. This episode examines another possibility. What you’re calling a mistake might simply be conditions turning, and that the real cost isn’t in the turn itself, but in the effort spent dragging the work back toward a version that’s already gone.
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.
