Nothing ever gets wasted. It just needs time to ‘simmer.’
Gather everything you need to know, facts and crazy ideas, and then let them have sex while you do other stuff, even procrastinating.
Revelations follow not when you’re always on but when you let the unconscious mind go to work. Being overly wake, in other words, spurns the lucidity of ideas.
Don’t force anything.
Wanting discovery and getting it is a process of patience. The rest of the time begs for play.
“The physical universe is basically playful. There is no necessity for it whatsoever. It isn’t going anywhere. It doesn’t have a destination that it ought to arrive at. But it is best understood by its analogy to music. Because music as an art form is essentially playful. We say you play the piano, you don’t work the piano.”

You’re very welcome. Glad you dig it.
The Alan Watts quote is a new one for me, but I like it. Thanks for sharing!
