Last month I considered how a condition of inter-subjectivity might be responsible for whether and how our surroundings influence who we are and what we create. Picking up where I left off, this morning I’m turning over the question of how the lived-world draw us forth and how it is drawn into our creative process. It seems to me that the world infuses us with its own being and we, who are being given the world, interpret and draw out its edge through our own lifework before we deliver it back into community as self-expression. A tripartite process of what is given, literally what is submitted, what is received in the exchange that is soon re-visioned, re-imagined and given back as an offering.

Hi Pete and thanks, as always, for your thoughtful reply.
You might find some of the papers (linked in the column) of interest. My mind was going in all sorts of directions and those papers sort of informed what I was preoccupied with as I was writing … for what it’s worth.
