What's the difference between a football and a mandala?

I tried to think about what my core values are. Thinking about what I consider first when making decisions. My intuition was that I considered two things: sport and art.

When I have a decion to make, I have two possible focuses: does it involve me moving?; does it involve me being moved?

These two questions are structured quite alike. Though I think that art is being limited a lot in this formulation. Maybe by changing the way I talk about art slightly, I can allow for it to encompass sports in a very natural way.

I can say that I foremost consider arts when making decisions. It is in arts that I discover my natural movements (physical, mental, emotional, etc.). It is in arts that I find the will for progress.

This all feels obliquely Buddhist and canonically Catholic.
