Description

"Any given moment contains unlimited futures that can become real. The reality that occurs is the one you pay attention to."  [Quoting] Penney Peirce

In this inaugural episode of 2025 I reflect on three recent inspirations — a movie and two exhibitions — that explore themes of creativity, certainty and choice. Drawing connections between the iterative nature of creativity, life’s constant rewrites and the courage to start anew, I share insights into how we can embrace change and discover new possibilities and unlimited futures in the year ahead. 

• Life mirrors creative endeavours like writing, with continuous cycles of editing and rewriting.


• From ancient oracles to modern self-reflection, humans have always sought direction and clarity.


• It’s okay to start over, pivot or revise one’s path — every step adds to your story.

This episode might be a catalyst or companion for anyone seeking inspiration to rethink their direction, rewrite their plans and rediscover joy in the process of becoming.
