You (both) are studying the nature of creativity as few others have done or can do—and that is bound to make possible new creative frameworks, and to offer new solutions to situations that cause difficulty only within smaller frameworks. Do you have questions?
(“No. Jane’s been doing great lately, and I’m very pleased to see that.”)
