  The Architecture of Release: Sculpting with Kuumba https://www.spreaker.com/episode/the-architecture-of-release-sculpting-with-kuumba--71087749 They’ve got us fooled into thinking that creativity means we have to constantly produce. Every day, the culture tells you to add another side hustle, learn another skill, put on another hat, and wear another mask. We are walking around exhausted, carrying a hundred pounds of "more." But what if Kuumba—true Creativity—isn't about painting on a blank canvas?

I am planning some amazing things, and I am using the "Player's Pyramid" as my guide to get it done. More on that later. the idea that sparked me to write this late was my youngest son. I often forget that he watches everything that I do good, and bad. In June he found out how to use the on demand channels provided by the cable provider, and he is practicing his reading as well.
