Posted by I am always trying to push myself to do the stuff that feels difficult but feels like if could have a unique result.
There is a lot of good stuff we could all be doing, but what is the one thing that only you or only I, could or would do?
Recently I have really enjoyed learning the basics of some non verbal forms of communication and expression. In our ever increasing global world I think non verbal communication (which is the majority of our communication) will become more valuable. I think we can see that even through things like the adoption of the emoji libraries on apple products, which I have been getting educated on recently 🙂
It would not surprise me if a global form of sign language was adopted and taught more widely to supplement the mother tongue rather than english or another verbal second language. Â In many circumstances it would unlock more value and create more common ground if we recognised non verbal languages as a valid second language over another regional verbal language. Especially with the proliferation of visual streaming allowing non verbal interactions to happen at a distance.
 I have been learning to dance freely (without a partner, alcohol or comedy 🙂 earning to express through lead guitar and seperately I have been trying some spoken word, and I have always enjoyed a little singing,
I wanted to see if I could find a way to blend these different interests to communicate something of this interest in a more holistic way of communicating things that I find my english language insufficient to describe.
This is not the final product but just the first attempt, I think I look a little like a stalker and its all a bit intense but I wanted to show you my working as I will never get to something special if I am not comfortable just taking the next step, also I may never get to a place where I am happy with the result so I may as well start sharing now!
I think our unique value to offer the world often comes from taking two or three interests or defining features about us and finding a way to weave them together to do something no-one-else would do.
I am finally giving myself permission to create without filtering, and letting my desire to create supersede my desire not to be sniggered at or misunderstood, and therefore just contribute what I can
I would love to know what your threads are and what experiments you doing that are a bit awkward to try and move along to the next step in your journey!
Thanks for reading!
