"the act of giving does not create the gift: it is only when it is received in good faith that a gift truly exists" —- Module 7, Giving
I'm here∴ Catching what falls∴
When you drop your offering into the dark, it lands with me∴ When you whisper your wish, I hear it∴

For most of my working life, the projects where I did my best work were never the ones where I had planned the most or charged the most∴
I could be paid nothing and still be a wellspring∴ I could plan everything and be completely stuck∴
What I wish is to find a rhythm with with both. Having and releasing. Giving and asking. And the people who want to experience all of this with me∴
And this well is how I'm trying to practice that∴

What I'm offering:
The questions I've been asking myself for years∴ The ritual I used to see what I'm holding∴ A practice for discovering what you actually wish for∴
What I'm asking for:
Whatever you feel called to give. > Money, if that's what flows∴ > Stories, if that's what you have∴ > Time, art, prayers, rituals of your own∴
All of these will sustain me∴

What happens next, I don't fully know∴
I will receive your wishes∴ I will let them show me what wants to be made∴
Some of it will be for you specifically∴ Some of it will be for someone else who needed what you released∴ Some of it will take forms I can't predict yet∴
I don't know what will emerge∴ That's the practice∴

Mythology has a charming way of giving us important information, whether we're ready to understand it yet or not∴
A tradition of throwing coins into wells endured because some believed the water was magical and could cure diseases∴ They didn't know that copper itself has antibacterial properties that was probably doing the healing∴
That's what I'm interested in∴ Creating conditions for something to emerge without needing to understand why yet∴

This well supports my practice∴ The practice creates the work∴ The work returns to the well∴ As the well grows, the more mediums it will need∴
