I h...I love that escape into the creation process. I have found it in drafting, engineering and pottery. When I can get into this mode, all the rest of the world drops away for a while. It does become possessive, not much else matters. When I have had a good session of throwing, I will feel like I am still there at the wheel. With engineering, it follows me into my dreams and I will find solutions there. Unfortunately, for me, it can't be forced. It happens when it happens.Jody Windushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17430726021676773507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-447321916012029979.post-101189592475482262010-08-16T12:21:04.365-05:002010-08-16T12:21:04.365-05:00That is exactly the state of mind that is healthy-...That is exactly the state of mind that is healthy- bugger dishes and housework where genius resides - they will either get done or not but are not worthy of disrupting artistic expression.
