Thoughts and Ideas
Musing
Choice or inevitability. Human will or fate. One might say knowledge is a requirement for choice. When is this true and when is it not? Strike up a conversation with someone in a field not your own.
Creative Experiment
Create a conduit for new information, a new window that lights up an entirely new view or allows a new facet to appear on a former subject. Channel this into your next dance experience. Merge outside experience into your dancing.
