"No event can take place unless something acts in relationship to something else," Brugh Joy.

"1 plus 1 only equals 2 in a math book," Robert Alan Black.

This concept is one I have believed consciously since about 1979 and possibly intuitively or subconsciously "knew" for years before that but was not consciously aware of it.

Your challenge is to practice discovering or imagining "relationships" or "connections" throughout the week.

Pick up an object within one to two steps from you right now.

Examine it from a micro scale to a macro scale. Look for the "relationships" or "connections" that cause it to be what it is.

I.E.: Perhaps you picked up a red rubber ball that was laying on your desk.

1. what material is it made of?
2. why is it round?
3. how was it made?
4. how was it made round?
5. what does roundness do for it?
6. what if it was another configuration?

Examine it from a cellular nature.
What would you discover if you cut it in half

Examine it at a molecular level.
What is happening inside to cause it to take its shape and have its color? What enables it to bounce?

Such work lays the foundation for creative leaps, creative thinking, innovation to simple improvements.

Do this each day for 15 minutes with different things you find randomly at varying times during the day. This practice may cause you to think this way more often and therefore improve, expand and deepen your creative thinking skills and nature.

Have a week filled with magical creativeness.
