OK? What Next?
Where Am I?
Who Am I?
Am I?
* Watching Charlie Rose last night interviewing Rem Koolhaus, writer and architect, I shook out of a daydream to hear a cut and paste of::
Charlie: ".... writing or building?"
Rem Koolhaus: Writing is analysis, I am a "monk in a cell, capturing a reality or a new reality in the world of ideas," insight, "world of observation," solitary...."Building is a team effort, a collaboration, social....".
"Analysis is often what triggers innovation."
Be in both worlds: "Analysis is the basis for new thinking"
Analysis and Intuition: both are necessary: The Best of Both Worlds
Charlie Rose: "The world of ideas is where you start."
Experiment: One Minute Writing:
Close eyes, pick a book, any book or E- book chosen at random, phrase, or song lyrics. I reached over and chose ("surprize") ** Shirley MacLaine's book It's All in the Playing.
Open a page at random, what is the first sentence or phrase your eyes perceive? Close the book without reading any more.
Quote to Ponder: "Let me think about it all tonight," he said.
Set a timer for 60 seconds and spontaneously write (right) like crazy! Running on Auto Pilot "NOW"~
"Let me think about it all tonight," he said."
"See You Around," I replied sullenly. I shut the door and sighed.
"What if he calls? What will I do?"
"Worse Yet, What if he Doesn't Call?"
Rem Koolhaus: "Architecture is like script writing, recreating daily life from scratch."
Key Word: "Writing"
