Thank you Eleanor. Really appreciate it. This Dustin Hoffman interview was pretty important to me around that time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0pyWEGaYo1Q
At some point it just felt like the only thing to do was to do my work in exactly the way I wanted to do it - but with no sense whatsoever of how it would ever connect to the market or to other people. All kinds of internal decisions to get there but ultimately only one choice.
Great to hear that you've gotten to a good place in your discipline and inner journey. It shows in the work!
Thanks Sam, and yes, that decision - or is it a submission to the fact - that all we can do is connect to the work and leave the What Happens Next to whatever happens next, I know it well.
Just watched the Dustin Hoffman interview. What great advice to hear at that age. A thousand times yes.
