It was summer and I was sixteen. Not much of a sweet sixteen, more of a mature-beyond-her-years-sixteen and I was very aware of the troubles of humankind. From my early teens I had visited the library and I remember being super excited to finally be allowed into the 'adult' section, where I found books about meditation, ancient Indian and South American traditions and topics like Buddhism and the Eye of Horus. In a strange way much of the knowledge in these books seemed 'known' to me and they gave me a context for the life I was living.

The Workings of My Creative Mind
It is 4am in the morning and I lie awake. Twenty million ideas are floating around my head and most intertwine and are related to one another. They are amzing, beautiful, smart and inventive ideas. A little voice tells me to "write them down, quick! Quick!! When you wake up in the morning, you won't remember!" "Oh yes I will" I tell myself. Of course I will. These ideas are awesome, and incredible and will not only change my life and the way I do things and approach beliefs and attitudes, but also the lives of all my friends and loved ones, and my community and my goodness me! The whole world needs to know this stuff! These ideas are so very amazing that I am sure I will remember them. One hundred percent sure. Until, that is, I fall asleep and three hours later when my alarm goes off to start the day, I remember that I had some sort of idea, but can't for the life of me think up what it was all about.
