Ideas rarely arrive complete. They come in fragments, returning in slightly different forms, until one day they cohere. This process has a rhythm to it, a push and pull between effort and ease, between concentrated work and the wandering that happens when we are not trying.
Movement supports this rhythm. Walking, exercise, the physical act of changing environments, these are not interruptions to thinking but part of it. The body in motion seems to free something in the mind. Ideas that were stuck begin to loosen. Connections that were invisible become apparent.
