Category: Did you know?

…that your mind can go insane with sudden creative thoughts during the day, words and images flying like falcons after a paper prey where they may finally transform into living ink in order to pour themselves onto it and rest? Of course, that very day you have a million things to do before you can get enough time to sit and gather your thoughts because the “oh, I’ll carry a pen and a little notebook” plan was left on the table when you emptied out your bag to find your keys (must re-think the love of big canvas bags as purse.) And you are haunted all 36 non-stop busy hours of that day with brilliant ideas that seem to spark from a central point of pure genius in your soul (yes, you called it genius) and you KNOW you must capture them because, “in the name of all that is majestic” (yes, you thought of that too), it can be life changing. You struggle through the purchase of dish-washing liquid and other bubble-making products that only remind you of the daily slow collapse of your soul where your brilliant ideas get washed down the drain along with the discarded left-overs right before you have to moisturize the heck out of your hands because on top of everything, you are not getting any younger. Did you know that at the exact moment when your derriere hits the chair and the pen is held firmly in your hand, fingers tingling with excitement, and that beautiful, perfect, empty page opens itself up to you ready for your simple amazingness to fill it… right then, at exactly that fraction of a second, your thoughts have the incredible capacity to turn on you like a jilted stumbling lover who has been holding a grudge reality-TV style and they start toppling around like a drunken Yoda attempting to do an actual emergency broadcast over the radio. Forget my words I will. Fucking Yoda.
