Heard an interesting remark from an aikido master a couple of years ago that I've been able to successfully apply to my situation with cancer the past year. When asked by a student how to get up to the next level in proficiency, the master said, "You'll never get to the next level until you learn to enjoy occupying the same space as your opponent."
creativity ideas stimulation research curiosity
"a way to track my activity related to creativity and things that i've found helpful to generate new ideas. waste of time? possibly. talked with students about doing a lot of these things to get them out of the music building and experience life. so, maybe this is a way to track myself and to provide an example to some of my students."

June 6
Plan? No Plan? Deadline? No Deadline? Commitment.....
Flexibility
Could just be the season that we're coming out of but, I really didn't feel like doing anything Jan-Apr. It was dark, gray and cold most of the time in Tokyo. Starting this blog seems to have caused me to WANT TO get out and increase my activity. I don't want to get into a cycle where I feel stressed to come up with something just to have material for a blog everyday. I've been doing this blog everyday because I felt like I had something to add to it. If I don't feel that way, I want to keep myself in a space where I don't have write anything. Flexibilty....
I prefer the "childs-play" kind of vibe. I think I can create flow more easily like that.
