I don’t know whether it’s a cultural thing or something more deeply biologically rooted, but we tend to characterize periods of our lives by circumstances or places or people.
I’ve “bitten off more than I can chew” with a few projects in the past, and while you and I are of the kind to be relentless in our efforts to see it through to completion, the understanding of the origins of our work and of ourselves along the way throughout the entire creative process is usually what keeps me returning to take another bite down the road. A hunger that is never satiated and only grows the more “nibbles” you take into it. We grow with our work, just as our work grows with us. A never ending dance between the inner voice and its outer embodiment.
Yeah "understanding the origins of our work and ourselves" certainly contributes to sticking with it and anchoring yourself as the nature of the project grows and mutates over time
“ But I feel as though anything less amounts to using a firehose to pour myself a glass of water — too little space for such vastness.” It’s about bloody time, Kirshner…if I’ve told you once, I’ve told you a hundred times, your voice deserves to be heard. ♥️

That is so beautifully said… “A hunger that is never satiated and only grows the more “nibbles” you take into it.”…
