Creation, Trial & Error, Iterations
Several weeks ago I watched a TED talk by Tim Harford: Trial, error and the God complex, it impressed me greatly at the time. Reading today from the blog Marc and Angel Hack Life: 30 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself, I had a revolutionary thought when I read number two.
What if creation in the metaphysical realms is really an eternal process of iterations. I realize that there are laws in place that must be obeyed, and principles to be followed, but I think within those bounds there is an infinite possibility for creation. The phrase: "Because that’s the whole purpose of living – to face problems, learn, adapt, and solve them over the course of time." made me think of the grander scale of opportunity that is mine if I will endure.
I couldn't help but be reminded also of the video entitled "Create"
I am reminded, inspired and challenged to persist in my efforts to create something unique, beautiful and enduring. Things like teaching my children, writing, building, drawing, speaking and even thinking.

Synergy and the Knitting Circle
After reading this article I had a challenging thought: who do I collaborate with in a meaningful, regular and synergistic way? I have experienced this type of collaborative synergism sporadically, unintentionally, so how do I make it both regular and intentional?
Thinking further of real world examples of people who followed this practice was instructive. Jesus Christ, on a mission to save the world, didn't go about it in a cavalier way; he surrounded himself with twelve men with whom he worked, thought, spoke, and lived; they supported him in everything. Henry Ford--"I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can't be done." There are a great many examples of great men and women who had a person or group of people with whom they exchanged letters, ideas and information.
I believe that everyone has nearly infinite potential, but I also believe that potential cannot be brought out without the help and support of other people. So I return to the original questions: who can I collaborate with? and How do I make that collaboration a regular and deliberate part of my life? Answer: I need to start a knitting circle.
