A wonderful book. See also Richard Sennett’s “The Craftsman” for thoughts on repetition in learning, especially with reference to mastery of craft/art. A wonderful book.

When I've spent time in eastern Asia for example, I felt I was constantly being bumped and crowded, but no one else seemed to notice, so I just made up for it by keeping to myself when I came home to the States :) I think nonverbal cues are stronger the more you know about them though. With some people I know, they absolutely cannot read how I'm feeling based on my physical appearance, distancing, posture, and so on. But I have two of three people in my life who can immediately zero in on those things and react to them. Strangely, those people, while my best friends, live states and sometimes continents away from me! But when we're together, there's an immediate comfort with our physicality and nonverbal communication. I guess that does just prove it's all connected...

"Without music, life would be a mistake." It is too much time spent since I last read Nietzsche... thank you Cati to remind me this. “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is Music.”
