What this insight invites
An enjoyable activity can generate ideas without a plan to prove yourself. Muse invites attention to the process of making, tasting, telling, or arranging something for its own interest.
Pleasure can sustain practice, though waiting for inspiration can leave materials untouched. During an ordinary break, try a small experiment without turning it into another project to optimize.
