That thinking thing
The mind is a big place, huge, bigger than a computer, bigger than the internet – hell, it’s exactly the same size as the universe [which is no coincidence].
It does being big by being able to jump from one thing to the next without taking all the inbetweeny steps. Unlike this switching-engine under the desk. Particularly big leaps are sometimes called creativity.
10:36 am
This morning the universe in my mind is focused on a few square inches of paper in front of me. The paper is the portal, the paper is the medium through which the ideas try and escape.
10:44 am
In the dim cold dark matter of the mind images are conjured up like third magnitude stars and whole worlds evolve, collide and dissolve in moments, while feelings and emotions are shuffled and stirred.
10:58 am
As I draw the images, trying to nail the thoughts to something tangible, other images keep appearing, and a whole heap of possibility occurs, bound only by time and money.

Yes, that's what happens when YOU draw - it's fascinating.
Of course if the piece of paper had been in front of me and I was trying to draw on it, it would have been in the bin by 10.34am.
