what are you trying to prove?

i had an idea last night that combines my fascination for three things i have been studying for a little time or a long time: creativity, mindfulness, and self-awareness.


i got the idea from an article in "O" magazine so of course that means once i make a pile'o dough my "product" will be one of Oprah's favorite things.


kathie helped me bat the concept around this afternoo. kathie has such a great mind for this kind of thing and maybe i see that because we think so much alike. when either of us sprouts a new idea, the other looks into her brain as if it were a mirror but we each are looking at different elements of the image.

she is brilliant.

anyway, this process, this "kit", i have created will give the bearer of it the ability to record an idea, thought, moment, or conversation instantly -- and no technology allowed.

after some time passes, we shall look back on our musings reflect on why we chose them, how we represented them, where they came from, and why they were worty of documentation...

and that will tell us a LOT!


kathie said "what? what will it tell us? what do we expect might happen or what we might find, or what might this experiment prove?"

these are very good questions. however,

hush! i don't know what will happen yet! it is just an experiment.


and it starts tomorrow.

oops!

tonight!
