So I've often noticed that my mind makes quick and creative connections whilst travelling, be it on a bus or train. Often when travelling towards a choreography rehearsal or class I will be planning my session, and the mere sight of everyday objects can spur a new direction of thought. Mostly I find that simply being in motion physically sparks up my brain, far more than initially jamming in the studio or sitting down pondering.
I was pointed towards this article by my sister and at the sight of the title, i thought it may be a little on the intense, negative side. However upon reading I fiound many deightful nugget phrases taken from various books and pieces of writing which both made sense and lit up something inside. here are a few of those below. For the full article click the link at the very bottom. I hope you enjoy.
"As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives."
Walking (Henry David Thoreau)
CS Lewis thought that even talking could spoil the walk. "The only friend to walk with is one who so exactly shares your taste for each mood of the countryside that a glance, a halt, or at most a nudge, is enough to assure us that the pleasure is shared."
