- Creativity is the power to imagine a better future.
- Without Creativity,
- we could only Hope for stasis, a continuance of the way things are,
- denying Pragmatism, which teaches that Change is Eternal.
- Perseverence in the mission of fighting Change always fails eventually.
When Octavia Butler came to speak at Pomona College in the fall of 2002, she told us that if we want to write novels, we don't really need any talent but the willingness to persevere. Writing a novel takes a massive commitment of time and effort, and the biggest danger is simply that you will give up in the middle.
How much harder, then, will it be to avoid giving up in the middle of a centuries-long project to heal our world and plant the Seeds of Gaia on other worlds?
