I’m currently in a “liminal” space.

"What's a liminal space?" you ask.

Imagine a houseplant that outgrew its pot. You uproot the thing in order to move it into a bigger pot, add more soil, fill in the loose gaps around it, and let it take root. The part where the plant's ass roots are in the air? That's the liminal space.

It’s wonderful, but a little wispy.

You're both the potter and the plant

One of my favorite stories from Alan Watts, lecturer and philosopher, is The Way We Think About Ourselves.

In this lecture, he mentions the difference between Western and Eastern philosophy on this topic.

He points out the West’s tendency to believe we forge ourselves, noting the Christian influence. It’s not a coincidence Jesus was a carpenter," he says. We think of ourselves as built, made.

And therefore, it’s not uncommon for an American child to ask, “How was I made?”

But a Chinese child would never ask this question.

A Chinese child would ask, “How did I grow?”

...

The truth is I have no idea if we're the plant or the potter, but we're probably a bit of both.


📈 Behind the Business: New Logo, Who Dis?

I've wanted to work with designer Travis Fetting as long as I can remember.

A Phoenix native, Travis is one of the most humble designers I know and three years after drawing the old logo on my phone to prove to myself that I could in fact do this newsletter with a scrappy logo, I hired him.

Moving up when you've met the threshold is an art. I know for a fact if I waited for a perfect logo in the beginning, I'd never start.

Anything you want to know about the process? Love it? Hate it? Hit reply and let me know. We're here to grow together.

In the meantime, it's Labor Day here in the USA. Let's go out and play.
