It's funny, I'll wake up sometimes and idly think: "I might get up in time to make the bus and ride to town and then walk the three miles home and feel good about myself." I feel that urge slowly beginning to rise in me, but all the same, I get up and act like it's a normal day. Except until about 10 minutes before the bus is due. And then, ALL AT ONCE, I KNOW IT'S GONNA HAPPEN! And I zoom out the door and make the bus and then somehow, the deed is done and I do feel good about what was brought forth in the moment. And what I saw on the walk, whom I met, whatever other things colored that part of the day.
So I'm just responding to your notes about "the urge" that is trying to surface. That's how your words touched me this morning!
Oh, then there's this: "A resolute imagination is the beginning of all magical operations" -- Paracelsus
The "resolute part" -- harder to muster as I get older? Still, it's pasted to the ceiling of my little cupboard bed.
Examining our own process is very interesting... so many different ways to go about it, especially if there are not too many external dictates. I usually visualize what I'm going to do before I do it, but it's still an open question as to what actually happens. I am not good at 'making' myself do things...

I love the Paracelsus quote! Thank you.
