#7 Fundamentals What fundamentals matter most to how you express yourself? Think about projects or work you have produced of which you are particularly proud. What are some fundamental principles of skills present in these projects that you have mastered? How could you use this mastery in other spaces and places?
I started to answer these questions, and they turned into a poem.
Fundamentals
Listening —to myself, to others, to the physical/metaphysical space around me
Rhythm —of words, of silence, of the structure of a day, of the circular nature of the process
Cutting —filler words, convoluted ideas, fear of what others thing of me
Structure —for aesthetics, for logic, for comfort in patterns
Sharing —ideas, stories, hope, myself
Words —nouns, verbs, articles, conjunctions
