The fertile void
The fertile void is the space between the end of the generative part of one creative cycle and the germination part of the next. It’s when the magic in the soil happens, the composting, the breakdown of things so that they become available as nutrients later. As in nature, these processes are on a molecular level, and so it’s easy to feel like nothing is really happening, especially as we have been conditioned not to pay attention to these small things.
