I mean, you know, as much as I love improvisation, I'm definitely very glad that I learned classical music

you know, where I was classically trained, you know, piano and violin.

And it's like, I'm glad I have those things because like, you know, at a certain point I kind of broke off from it and I was like, this isn't really working for me.

But yeah, I mean, it's like, you gotta learn the structure to realize you never needed the structure in the first place, you know, in a way, I mean, kind of, but like, yeah, I mean, that's the thing.

It's like, if you become really good at one thing and you get good at it to the point at which it feels like,

like it's a form of expression that you don't think about, like speaking in a conversation.

It's like that fluid, like you, that can be applied to every single thing in your life.

You know, like even something that you don't know how to do, there's a weird, like you can kind of inhabit the, the embodiment and the resonance that you have with something else.

You can actually kind of,

turn that to another thing.

Not to say that, like, you can suddenly become a gymnast, you know, when, you know, you're really good at, like, calligraphy or something like that.

But there is, like, an aspect of it that can kind of accelerate your understanding of something.

You know, if you come into that, you're like, oh, no, this is, how is this related to what I'm really great at?

And I think that...

That's kind of an interesting thing to notice.

But yeah, I mean, essentially the surfing feeling, that's... I like that analogy because, you know, it's like surfing is a great analogy because it's like, well, you're...

you're in nature and you're, you're empathizing and sympathizing and synergizing with the forces of nature, but it's not just you.

There's a device that you're on and the device is the surfboard and, or whatever, boogie board, whatever the fuck.

But anyways, surfboard, you're on the surfboard and the surfboard is an idea.

It's something that has, that we came up with collectively a long, long time ago.
