The visible and the hidden

When you watch a ballet performance, you see the dancers move to punctuate and express the music accompanying it. Yet they can't express every part of it. So you have to pick and choose. Which parts are the important parts? Which movements to which parts of the music will express a plot, a story, without even saying a word?

I love to learn the stories behind the things that are obvious and well known. That is why I became interested in human anthropology, geology, reconstructing historical landscapes, animal psychology, etc. It is why I appreciate nerds and geeks. (Once they open up, they know so much.)
