Current Architecture — the LifeSpiral

◐ Refining
Inspiration + Gratitude — ambient influences

Inspiration and Gratitude may surround the whole Spiral. Awareness remains its entry portal.

  1. 01
    Awareness

    The faculty that notices. Rocks, Ideas, observations, squirrels.

  2. 02
    Four Dimensions of Life

    Health, Growth, Security, Connection — what is noticed may touch several at once.

  3. 03
    LifeRole

    Who you are while attending to it.

  4. 04
    Creative Compass

    Creative navigation toward purposeful work.

  5. 05
    Studio

    Where purposeful work is developed and continuity preserved.

  6. 06
    Gallery

    What has reached a meaningful state of completion, expression, or sharing — and may feed the Spiral again.

  7. …and the Gallery renews Inspiration. The Spiral turns again, a little further along.

Working Environments support this movement; Library and Archive are not stages.

Open authoritative Architecture
Creative Compass — creative navigation, not a stage
● Decided
1. Imagine

Let the material arrive without judgement.

2. Design

Study, arrange, and choose the approach.

3. Create

Make the work with sustained attention.

4. Share

Release it and let it be seen.

Thresholds — working language
◐ Refining
Choose

Something is taken up rather than merely noticed.

Commit

Attention and time are actually given.

Release

It leaves the hands and goes into the world.

Reflect

What happened is looked at, learned from, and folded back in.

Still being refined. Held as working language, not doctrine.
