Thanks for the fine words, Robyn. As your comment reminds me, a major benefit of letting the back of the mind do its wonderful stuff is that this frees one to get out into the larger world beyond the intricacies of one’s work, to pay attention while out there, to absorb the temporal beauties and pleasures of an evening like the one you describe. ~Mark

What a timely post. I’ve recently started a couple blogs and tonight I had been working on some ideas and drafts. I felt I needed to clear my mind so I went for a walk. The night was amazingly beautiful and as I walked my mind just started bubbling with thoughts. And one of the many that surfaced was how important it is to the creative process (writing or otherwise) to let the craft go for awhile and just let the subconscious work on things. Sometimes being still is the best thing for our work. I love the Rilke quote. Thanks for this post!
