Firstly, creativity thrives on isolation and disconnection. Second, creativity flourishes in marginal spaces and liminal spaces. Finally, creativity thrives on chaos.*
Oliver Burkeman

From the disparity between the immensity of the possible and the smallness of the human being there springs the torment and the energy of the flâneur. Persecuted by frustration, he is sentenced to a sort of perpetual motion.**
Frederico Castigliano

Absence makes the
imagination grow stronger,
Disappearing us into the unnoticed and
unexplored places, ideas, and lives that
both grows the Self and
possibility:
First we have to persuade ourselves
we can make make pigs fly;
only then do we have a chance of
helping them fly.^

The flâneur and flâneuse
show us the way.
