I think sometimes the hardest part is deciding the depth at which to stop penetrating when we communicate what we see. it's such a careful dance: keeping the reader intrigued and wanting more because you've revealed HINTS at what is under there, but not the key stuff. (I tend to be a bit of a flasher, then have to go edit some of it out--this can hardly shock you...)Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6333789853886557070.post-6563966051175321112010-04-29T07:52:34.619-04:002010-04-29T07:52:34.619-04:00What a brilliant idea!!!

We process them and save random bits to use later on. It is a collection of things, that attract our attention. I think I am going to start a journal like this. My X-ray glasses journal, odd observations, by me. I tend to have a lot of intuitive moments that give me insight. Sometimes I wish I didn't.
