When Einstein encountered roadblocks while developing his theory of relativity he would trade his pencil for a violin. He did this, he said, "to reconnect with the harmonies of the cosmos."
Scientists explain rainbows. Artists paint them.
Gladly, we do not have to be geniuses to understand this idea & how to apply it. Everyone has hit resistance while trying to solve problems.
The moment we forget a name we start struggling. The tension created interrupts the harmony the mind needs to deliver the answer. That is why the name comes when we let go.
Einstein engaged the approach more broadly. Like Leonardo Da Vinci, Einstein knew that science & art are married & that to divorce them disturbs the best energies of each.
Caregiving engages science to cure. Art offers different harmonies. Radical Loving Care is a theory of caregiving. It posits that healing is grounded in God's love. Thus healing flows when science & art join to connect "the harmonies of the cosmos."
