Nora wonders about the sort of mesh work her dog is in and makes. Note though, a mesh does not have a centre so your dog (or anything else) is not, cannot, be at its centre. This I find very difficult to think with.
Louis has a nice prompt come extended thinking with. (This is how you should write essays by the way.) He asks “Is there a difference in the way we tell the story and what we tell the story about?” What follows is very interesting, and valuable. Craft still matters (for me), but your relation to craft (what you know think craft is), and it’s role, that hopefully changes.
Ben feels he can see the value of failure. Another one I find difficult. After all, it is easy to say we learn from our mistakes (and we do), but it feels very uncomfortable to actively use this, doesn’t it? What would it be to court failure? To productively seek it as a way to make and learn?
