I often think to myself that to learn any of the higher crafts well probably takes at least 20 years of hard work. To become a master probably takes even longer (maybe up to and beyond 50?). So you can spend a lifetime learning one craft or art form. Now imagine having many lifetimes! That's really exciting. Of course there would be long stretches of your soul rejecting new knowledge, and getting bored with learning, but I've been through those times myself and they pass.

In the end, well - there would be no end. You can never come up with enough to do for eternity. Or could you? I think you'd force yourself to do stuff just to not be bored. You might spend 2 years curled up in a ball, floating through space, but eventually I know I'd try to find a way to create something new to occupy myself with...after all... I'd have plenty of time!
