I think it might have been Stephen D's comment on not always thinking about "why I'm blogging this" that has triggered this conversation......the only thing that worries me about all this reflection is the circle that always leads around to action....
as an artist, I often reflected without ever feeling that my thoughts had to translate into practice. it was a sort of experimental reflection that often ended in madness and the ridiculous or nothing at all. I felt free to think the most crazy and impractical thoughts. I felt as if these were my most creative and also powerful moments of reflection.
the problem with kolb, and reflection-for-action, reflection-on-action, reflection-in-action is that they all end in action and I think it creates a wall. Thinking with a mind on action, I start to feel cramped by the need to be "practical" and I think there's a danger that it never leads to anything very exciting. It might even get a bit tired.
