Waiting for the perfect time? Waiting to launch an idea, press ‘go’ on a project - there may not be a perfect time. When we wait for the right time, perhaps we’re just waiting until we feel right. But if we keep waiting until we feel ready, brave, complete, right, correct and as perfect as can be, we will be waiting a long time.

We see patterns in fabrics, in nature and in design and architecture. Patterns exist in many other parts of our world: The time we wake up. How we behave. The actions we take.

Or did critique and complaint show up instead? There can be an easier, default response to be right. by pointing out the wrong.
