Not much progress was made this week in terms of physicality, but I have been thinking much more about didgeridoo as an expression. I had a realization recently that all art forms are pure expressions of the entirety of that person, and all nonverbal art forms are expressions of things that cannot be expressed through words, simply because each art form allows for certain things to come out in a certain way. It seems very obvious to me now, but that articulation was full of power and significance.

This put all expression in a different light, especially the methods I use to express myself. Now I understand that when I play the didgeridoo, I am not just trying to make nice sounds, but I am expressing my whole and complete self through a medium that is just as legitimate as words (if not more). Every expression that I create expresses every moment I have ever experienced because it is influenced by each one of those experiences. The same also goes for didgeridoo creation; everything I create is a direct expression of self.

I am even more excited about this journey I have embarked on now that it holds so much significance to me.
