An interesting side topic I brought to Alexandria was from Elizabeth Gilbert's presentation on Ted.com. I discussed the mythology of daemons and genius, in a similar fashion to hers. As a composer, I am looking for the distance she is searching for too. It is at 6'20" until 8'25" or so into the presentation below, but her entire speech is worth watching if you have the time! Enjoy!
This is a fascinating concept. Yes, the distance is an insulation for creativity. I will be back to watch the entire clip. I learned so much here.
