This advice is part of a story that Cara Jennings told me about her cooking strategy. That when you are cooking something up and are either not the best cook or haven't made the dish before, you don't tell folks what it is. You wait until they are eating it and ask them to name it.
i have tried to apply that advice to other situations. People expriencing something for the first time only have their fantasitical preconcieved notions to prepare themselves for it. So why not remove some of the preasure from everybody and give them more opportunity to actually engage in the moment and discover for themselves what the experience is?
So my expectations of what things will be also need to be checked and i need to let things be discovered as things reveal themselves. The challenges of doing these things (Indiegogo campaign, blog, creating a care group, making a 48 hr baking ritual happen etc) is also the exciting journey of discovering the moment. Learn from them, appreciate them, incorporate them in the being aware of the doing of them.
i, let alone anyone else, have never seen a 48 hr Day of the Dead Cake Baking Ritual on Balitmore Ave before. So we will all discover what that looks like as it all unfolds.
