Thanks for this bit Steve. I'm in the midst of another transition, and this really helped me get back to what I knew all along.

In terms of measuring gravity with the intention of expanding your creative capacity, that's definitely a great way to frame the idea. Speaking from my rock climbing experience, it is a great feeling when you become one with gravity and the rock, and actually feel the energy flow through you as you move up the wall and experience all the little nuances of the intricate movement you are doing while at the core of it all, being yourself, finding new ways to express your spirit through the movement. When you are in that moment, nothing else matters. You just are. You, the gravity and the rock. And the wonderful experience you're having in your relationship with them -- something that really defies words, just a serene feeling of oneness as you are in sync with everything around you. So yes, a very good analogy. And thank you for your take on the subject.
