The answer to the question ...

A craftsperson said "I am obsessed with finding the answer to the question"

What question? Questions that demand attention in our thinking. The challenge arises when we need to ask ourselves "How can I say what I am wanting to say using the medium that best articulates it?"

If you are a writer or a poet, you construct the language using the tools of grammar, vocabulary, syntax, dialogue, etc; editing and re- editing until you have before you that which best articulates what was in your inner world.

If you are a composer you create a musical language and when you are a craftsperson, you create a visual language. Conceptualization and rationalization work together in the process of the creation of what is being expressed, giving it birth in the gifting that the maker has. ie, a visual, written or musical language.

I will persure this train of thought later.
