Carla Needleman on 'the craft of being human'

The laws of craft and the teachings of any particular real craft run parallel to the craft of being human. The craft teaches precisely through bypassing the self-indulgent speculative part of the mind that would rather think about working than work. The craft provides experience. I can learn through the order of experiences. The craft will lead me if I am able to put aside my impatience and follow.

Carla Needleman, 'The Work of Craft' (1979)
