Two voices arriving at the same chord without rehearsal. Creativity blooms in pairs: duets, collaborations, the love affair that is also a creative project, the conversation that ended in a poem neither of you would have written alone. Play seeks partners. The trap is depending on the other to start the song. Learn to sing alone for an afternoon. Your relationship to creative life is most alive when the partnership joins a self already at work. The work is keeping your own studio open even when the duet is going well.
