Imagine Hearing Your Own Thoughts

You wake up to the sound of silence. There are no alarm clocks going off. There is no traffic outside your window. There is only the sound of your own ideas percolating inside your head. Grabbing your coat you take time for a lazy morning walk through the woods to get a Cappuccino made by local Talkeetna residents. Halfway down a dirt path with wild Alaskan woods on both sides your ideas begin to simmer wildly. This is the first time in a year that you've been able to hear yourself think. You'd forgotten how rich your own ideas could be. And to think - all you have to do today is to develop and realize all these wonderful ideas. All you have to do is make your art.
