On the surface, the building is even more foul now than it was two weeks ago. The sticky oil residue is everywhere. It’s gross. But I can see a way through.

The building is in a state of semi-organized chaos. But at least something is happening. Change is afoot. There’s no going back now.

They say “go slow to go fast.” All I can say is I sure hope that’s true.

What I’m trying to achieve with this building, is to create an environment where there is: “No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.”

If I was in a rigid, linear, plan —> execute mindset (i.e. planning for trains), I’d almost certainly be sitting here with my head in my hands sobbing. Instead, I’m responding to the feasibility report by planning for sailboats and keeping an open mind.
