Consider expression as a gentle shaping of your daily rhythm itself. Sometimes the kindest act is the one stripped down to its purest, unburdened essence. Honor the nascent quality of a thought by not demanding immediate completion or follow-through. Let expression meet perspective in the way you approach this. Let this small step help you connect separate ideas into a useful whole as you give an unfinished idea a little room.

One small invitation
Watch the performer for a moment and jot down one striking element you observe.
