TWO CONVERSATIONS AND STUDIES WITH A STONE
Two valued conversations have happened in the last week as a result of my Re:View bursary. The first was with fellow Re:View recipient Susan Diab. We met in Brighton in a French coffee shop with THE best macaroons to talk (amongst other things) about our hopes and plans for our Re:View mentoring. Although approaching it with different aims and agendas we found we had a number of questions about our practices in common and it was good to talk.
The second conversation was a phone call from my mentor. It was great to chat about how we might set about the mentoring process, and already her wide experience and knowledge meant that valuable information came out of the conversation. We agreed to meet soon in London.
Meanwhile… in the studio, I am reading, reading, reading… very slowly. Richard Dawkins, talking about “the unlikely accident” of the formation of a molecule that could create copies of itself which might result in a living organism says “In the lifetime of a man, things that are that improbable can be treated for practical purposes as impossible… But in our human estimates of what is probable and what is not, we are not used to dealing in hundreds of millions of years.” Interesting then to explore some things which although improbable may not be as impossible as they seem.
