I am working on a piece, scribbling words, and part of my process was somehow around thinking outside the established wisdom and common advice, and for some reason, I happen to listen now to your podcast, especially the segment after your poem. Thank you for that, it came in good timing; it is like hearing my own thoughts, just in much better, more focused narration :) Keep creating.
