analyze this

Analysis of a poem by Robert Kendall.

Though logical thought is comforting in its usefulness, it is simply a method of thought within your mind, and the mind is capable of many more- some simple, some not. But the affinity our habits hold for the methods that have helped us prevail in the past keeps us close to the path, and ignorant of what may form into a new method, a new understanding. No rules or forms from any previous method can foster a new method's growth so much as the single concept:
Leap.

personally i thought the poem was a visualization of the process of artistic creation. i just didn't feel like being all english major-ey in class. watch the flash animation again... you'll see it.

The process of artistic creation involves both the definition of space as well as form. I think I understand your view. Interesting that we both interpret it in the language of activities to which we are familiar.

i thought that was funny too... our interpretations were very much field-oriented. maybe we should get married. don't tell emily.
