Many people believe devotion to creative work begins with discipline.

But devotion rarely starts there.

Wanting to spend time with it.

Staying in conversation with the process of making.

This video is part of the Threshold Series, a quiet space for artists and creatives who want a more nourishing relationship with their work.
