Yeah, but I think that's quite applicable to musical explorations too. You might set out for something completely different than you will find, but the fact that you do go out, accept risks and keep your eyes (or more musically: ears) open means that you have higher chances of "discovering america" than by staying in bed the whole day. (I'm reading "Oblomov" by Ivan Goncharov at the moment, by the way . Great book, pity I can't read it in Russian.)
