Drafting the Promised Oath of Formless Delight
Episode 32
Saturday, 10 January, 2026
260110: What if you could sign your creativity into being and make it sacred? I'm working on what I call the Promised Oath of Formless Delight—a living contract that turns art into duty, ritual, and shared tenderness. In it, I ask what shifts when we treat the act of making as a vow witnessed by someone we cherish.I walk through belongs in this oath, that matters to ritual and reverence to articulation and consistency; an “if true” clause that changes the relationship once it’s signed, from access to private letters to conversations with personified characters—logic, warmth, comedy, passion—who can answer your questions in their own tones.Through this, those I cherish can belong to the world of Eterna, and are offered a seat by the fire. The promise is long-term: tenderness in the abyss, courage over metrics, and a steady practice that measures aliveness instead of vanity stats. We close with the ritual of signing: a date, a signature, a few personal words, and a simple sigil. This is how we commit to bravery.Thanks for listening to the show! You can find out more about it at Eterna Garden, where I collect all my notes, conversations, podcasts, and more.
