“Creative people don’t follow the crowds; they seek out the blank spots on the map.
Creative people wander through faraway and forgotten traditions and then integrate marginal perspectives back to the mainstream.
Instead of being fastest around the tracks everybody knows, creative people move adaptively through wildernesses nobody knows.”
– Excerpt from “The Creative Monopoly,” by David Brooks, New York Times, April 23, 2012

If you’re traveling in a patch of Wilderness at the moment and want to immerse more deeply in this musing and inspiration, follow the link to “Uprooting from False Ground” from the Sophia’s Children archives.
Jamie is an inspiration partner and lantern-holder for her fellow transformation leaders, change catalysts, and creative nonconformists who are living, inspiring, and (intentionally or not) leading the change in these chaotic times.
Jamie is a long-time servant of the Muse, a writer and author, and an intrepid walker and feline-tender. She has great appreciation for dark chocolate and cooking other nourishing, delicious meals -- often plant-based -- to nourish her partner and her peeps.
