Oh, my goodness. No, it's to have a bird land in your hand, to have chipmunks. I had two chipmunks, these little soft, warm, furry things, have an actual territorial battle in my hands, like two tiny little sumo wrestlers. See, for me, that, it's like Emerson said, beauty is its own excuse for being. Two chipmunks wrestling in your hands. That is its own excuse for existing. That is just fun.

That is pure fun. I figured as long as I'm holding perfectly still, why not get them to think of me as a source of nourishment? And what happened was I could feel the energy of an animal coming in that very part of my, not just my brain, but my whole right backside would sort of tingle. And I could actually tell what sort of animal was approaching me before it reached me.

And what kind of birds were planning to stop and they just fall on you. And now when I'm looking for creative thoughts or ideas about how to cope with a disaster or a personality clash or anything. Hmm. I remember that, how the energy sort of tickled the field of my awareness as a fleeting thought. And I learned to be more and more still. They didn't come and climb on me for weeks.

I had to be there every day, perfectly still. And I had to keep myself from getting excited when they actually decided to come visit because they couldn't tell when your adrenaline goes up. They don't want any part of that. Yeah. And now I do the same thing with my whole life.

And it really is that the brilliant ideas and the loves and the experiences that are waiting to light you up, they come as those fleeting thoughts. And if you hold very still and allow them, they will come to stay.

And when we've known forever that anxiety shuts down creativity. So I started thinking, what if it works the other way too? What if creativity shuts down anxiety? Oh, that's interesting. So if you, like, if I take a client and I do something very simple, like plan a meal for tomorrow.
