Recall how we speak of forging something new:
The Creator makes Something out of Nothing.
It sounds as if he performs this sacred act solo.
That’s a lie—though it’s the way our culture likes to imagine it.
To bring new life into being, it takes two.
Nature decided that, not us.
In this sense, the value of one is zero, not one.
No matter how rich her promise or how strong he is.
In truth, there is no such thing as creation—it is always co-creation.
The new blooms from link, bond, dance between X and not-X.
So what is a creative block?
It’s when one ignores the Other, trapped in self-spin: “I... Mine... Me...”
That act can ease or heat—but won't conceive the new.
Stuck?
Forget yourself to spot the Other—who calls you to the Game.
Yours sincerely,
