Balancing stones

An important part of the course is to feel gravity: Sir Isaac Newton's first law. Witness the apple!
But it is much more important than that -
The slosh of your feet in the river, or the tottering balance from footstep to footstep.
Ah! The clunk of that first stone upon another...
and then - the building starts!

This craft of balancing is one of the keys to creativity . . . the practice somehow unlocks the mysterious "I could..." and "What if I...?" mantras.
