I had bemoaned the fact that at the time I had not yet incorporated into the creative process the practice of carrying a pen and paper, without which to jot down the ideas I found the exercise of remembering these flashes of inspiration tantamount to the old Larson cartoon with the playpen of snakes.
The Art of Overcoming Writer's Block (and other mental blocks)
What do I write? Where do I start? Grrrrr... that paragraph doesn't look right! I've been doing this HOW long? I only have one page finished? I'm never going to get this finished."

In the interest of “the bottom line” thinking that dominates American business, we’ve lost the most meaningful tool we have, the human connection. I’d enjoy hearing your thoughts on observations and episodes you’ve had on the topic. Thank you. PS—Put your napkin on your lap!
