“If you take any activity, any art, any discipline, any skill, take it and push it at fat as it will go, push it beyond anywhere it has been before, push it to the wildest edge of edges, then you force it into the realm of magic. And it doesn’t matter what you select, because when it has been pushed far enough it contains everything else. I’m not talking about specialization. To specialize is to brush one tooth. When a person specializes he channels all his energies through one narrow conduit; he knows one thing extremely well and is ignorant of almost everything. That’s not is. That is tame and insular and severely limiting. I’m talking about taking one thing, however trivial and mundane, to such extremes that you illuminate its relationship to all other things, and then taking it a little bit further---to that point of cosmic impact where it becomes all other things.”-Dr. Robbins to Dr. Goldman Even Cowgirls Get the Blues by Tom Robbins
