Something to think about:
Improvisation and new learning are not private processes; they are shared with others at every age. The multiple layers of attention involved cannot safely be brushed aside or subordinated to the completion of tasks. We are called to join in a dance whose steps must be learned along the way, so it is important to attend and respond. -Mary Catherine Bateson in Peripheral Vision (1994), p. 9-10.
