in seeing the similarities and differences

In conversation, what comes back to us is not precisely what we said but only similar; in seeing the similarities and differences, the new is born. As each of us meets that new thing, even more new is born, not least of which is each of us. The persons we meet are brought forth each instant; so too the persons we are. Indra’s net sparkles. The persons are changing before our eyes, ears and hearts. It is a flow. Most important are the threads, ever moving, when they touch sparking. The threads are not things but accustomed pathways, made real only by thoughts pulsing and blowing through and around.

Thought is work

Thought is work. Thought moves things. Thought itself is produced by the confluence of two or more thoughts. The greater the difference of the parents the newer the child, the greater the work.

What is different about what is similar is a birth

To see what is different about what is similar is a birth. This is the work of conversation: so to attend similarities and differences to bring forth new work.

not learning but creativity

Similarities and differences noticed are what not learning but creativity is about. Learning may then be seen as the early stages of creativity.
