In this solo episode of Building a Creative Life, Pam Vale reflects on a realization about her own creative nature.

While some people are drawn to exploration or refinement, she has discovered that her energy lives in the beginning. The research, the shaping of an idea, the moment something starts to take form.

It becomes a reflection on building, and the many ways creative life begins again.
