Creativity shows up when your subconscious mind is free to connect random bits of this, that and the other thing. And you *can* get to that place from sheer exhaustion when your worn and weary animal brain just can’t do it’s thing anymore — but in reality, it seldom works that way. There’s far more effective ways than brute force. A walk in the woods. A soak in the tub. Laughing, reading, living.

This is a great post. Thanks. :)
