winter 2023

Yesterday, I immersed myself again (after 30 years) in Howard Gardner’s Creating Minds. I’m amazed by [1] how influential for me (now implicit) his understanding of creativity has been for advancing my own concep-
tion [2] beyond his (in integral complement) thanks to other influences and my own prospecting.

Actually, many of his books’ foci have been integral to the kind of practical sensibility which I generally prospect, i.e., conceptually model, relative to others’ work, my own offline, and my improvisations shared.

conceptual prospecting can be very practical

My sense of “wholly flourishing humanity” gathers themes from the two previous discussions in a progressively practical way.

---

some aspects of evolving conceptuality

---

In “terms of venturing,” I’m starting a more-rigorous path, which has been implicit to earlier prospecting.

---

humbly marking a new year for humanity

---

We grow up, achieve a lot (at best), pay forward (please), and move on—maybe contributing to others’ lives.

Time tells. Learning never ends.

Anyway, my map is clear to me now, after some years of somewhat improvising, like hiking difficult hills to prepare for a high climb together.

I feel ready—audacious and shameless.
