It can be advantageous to think open, think different. A professor of mine use to say that, "perception is reality." It makes sense to change perceptions from time to time. -- Jason Simon You make some very good points! It can be advantageous to think open, think different.

Really pours out the thoughts. I find it often easier to enter into the creative zone when *outside the box* of the computer. I like the bullets to landscape concept. Going to share that one with my 9 yr old daughter. She's my budding novelist/poet. I sure do enjoy your blog Chris. Nice to see Michael's name up there. I've really come to appreciate his thoughts over the last few weeks after your recommendation of his blog. A quiet place, a pencil and a notebook, a cup of coffee. Really pours out the thoughts.

Or maybe we just think very similarly. In any case, I know where that picture was taken. My office is just back, over there. Can you see me? I am the one waving.

My friend had seats behind the orchestra so that you actually looked over the shoulders of the musicians out into the audience. What was especially remarkable about this perspective was that in the particular piece they were playing, there were lots of hidden musical effects like strumming the rims of crystal water glasses or slowly rotating Chinese balls in one's hand, that literally go unseen by those in the direct-view audience. All of which reinforced the notion of changing one's seat, literally and figuratively, in order to get a new and fresh take on the same-old same-old. You would be surprised at the things we miss.

Anyone of us experiences the effect of changing perspectives every other day: just head for a 1-2 day city trip. You'll return with lots of impressions you wouldn't have if stayed home. Concerning Blogging or twittering it seems somewhat difficult to me to let users really share your perspective(s) since I'd have to describe the frame of m perspective: where am I, what do I see, who is with me, what is temperature, etc. But - if your readers do not know all that stuff - they start to use their creativity ;-) Chris,
