So, I spent most of the day with nursing innovators from around the country in the alternative healing space, the afternoon visiting one of this region’s senior sculptors in his studio, and this evening with local amazing poets in a peer critique workshop.

What these people from diverse disciplines share is a passion for their craft, and it is more accurate to describe what they do as craft than as a job or work or professions. One cannot spend time with these people without being inspired into new levels of thrivancy.

What elevates work to craft? And what happens to the work and the crafts people when craft is the figural identity that inspires transformational creativity? What happens when the future of any kind of work is craft?
