I just recieved a recent amazon purchase. It included Marcus Rediker's new book Villains of All Nations: Atlantic Pirates in the Golden Age, and Leonard Cohen's The Future. I flipped through the pirate book, skimming over sources and chapter titles and conclusions. I popped in my CD. My thoughs were that one of these things, I could pretty much reproduce on my own, the other was far far outside of my creative grasp.

I can teach myself to research, and think critically, and to write failry well (granted, I did have outside help ;), but I don't think I could teach myself to have a poetic soul.
Music:: Leonard Cohen - The Future
Mood:: 'tired' tired

Maybe you could borrow your sister's soul. It's artsy. :) While I think you're right, I think that because I don't think a "poetic soul" is "learned' so to speak. It kind of evolves, in my mind. Working at it and acquiring it are definitely not things that have clear cut objectives and so forth. I think the best you can do is be open to such and be exposed to things that might stimulate such a change.
