Thoughts and Ideas
Musing
Pathways. Why limit thinking to A to B to C? Why a "ladder" of success? Aren't the two steps forward one step back more interesting, or any number of steps back, sideways or diagonal to revisit, re-set, re-tool. Can pathways more akin to spiraling, meandering, patterns of radials, networks, waves, explosions or combinations of these reveal and create depth and enlightenment? Why think linearly?
Creative Experiment
Work with pathways. Break your habit or your genre's norm. Try a new pathway as a tool in itself or as an exploration of meaning.
