Thank you for sharing that! It was the single most inspiring and true speech I've ever heard about creativity! I am in a moment when the daemon is speaking and I can't take my hands off the wheel of real world tasks. Before hearing this speech I felt frazzled- now I've just looked up into the corner of the room and said, "Can you come back this afternoon? Meanwhile I'll keep a pen and piece of paper with me."

This whole talk really resonated with me. She has such a realistic handle on how the esoterica dovetails with a baseline of "do the job."

Janet, so happy to see you pop up! Enjoy your afternoon revel with the daemon. See you in the spring!
