Greetings Gordon,
Thank you for your input.
Brevity can be a pitfall like practice without theory too. I like the
three steps which you mention below.

This is how they fit into "deep creativity".
dynamics of creativity => create PASSION
mechanics of creativity => support RISK
allow back action => develop REFLECTION
Should I say more?

It reminds me of
Do not give a person a fish,
but help a person to catch a fish
I will extend it into
Let us learn all about aquaculture
so that we can give nature back its fishes.
By this I mean that catching one fish PASSIONATELY to eat it self or to
give to others leaves one fish less to catch. This becomes RISKY when more
fish is taken than what the fish can replenish themselves. Now for some
REFLECTION. Should humankind continue acting as the worst predator of all
species? Has humanculture not become ultapredacious?
We had once on this list a wonderful LO-dialogue on passion in learning.
The key question was:
How to create passion?
Perhaps we may try answering it again. I would like to learn about
your viewpoint.
How does a "passion vampire" operate?
With care and best wishes
