It's an art, it is.

The purpose of an educator is to describe, relate, and in some cases dissect it for students to pick it up.

But there is a certain level where language becomes inadequate as a tool of communication – maybe because it is trying to describe another form of communication, and all translation has limitations.

Bounce. Lift. Balance. Weight. Wait. Focus. Target. Round. Revolve. Center. Depth. Intent. Dark. Tension. Elastic. Discovery. Urgency. Flight. Flow.

Ironically, the path of discovery of this abstract and misty world of art is through the most basic scientific process: experimentation.
