All over the map; as you can see from my favorite book topics.

never enough

I repeatedly find myself diving into... SciFi and fantasy (love the world-building) psychology & brain research, linguistics, meaning & philosophy, David Bohm-style Dialogue & World Cafe, musicology & music theory, psychology, perception & reaction, creative thinking as a skill, articulating what is tricky to describe, I'm a particular fan of Barbara Sher, Personality description systems such as the Conative Index & Enneagram, The educational processes in general - mastery. Negotiation and mediation skills ...then there are many subjects I know nothing about... I read them because I don't know about them.

See What I'm Saying, (science of perception) Lawrence D. Rosenblum; The Stuff of Thought: Steven Pinker (language assumptions) Early works of Phillip K Dick, (science fiction) Serious Creativity-Edward de Bono; (creative thinking) Playful Perception, Herbert L. Leff - (creative awareness shifts) Three Cups of Tea - Greg Mortenson; (philanthropy)

acoustic - world - instrumental - historic - jazz - original singer-songwriters who I've known personally

a crafted Flamenco-Andes station on Pandora, Eric McFadden, guitarist, composer Buddy Craig, country guitarist, singer-songwriter, Shawkie Roth, flautist, sax player, composer

The Fifth Element, The Truman Show, Brainstorm, the short "Validation"

The sunset. Clouds. Horses outside my window.

Would love to get rid of the "little darlings" of my writing

Learning thinking skills, offering the benefit of my observations by writing, drawing pets, astrology, snorkeling, not having a car, playing the array mbira & piano, talking on the phone
