Forward Motion

What’s set in motion stays in motion apparently.

And forward motion is the theme for today.

Sometimes it can be easy to get things going but to keep them going is a different matter.

Putting things in place so they can’t stop.

Creating systems so that what seemed hard before becomes easy.

Every day now I meditate, then splurge a new musical idea before writing for five minutes.

It still scares me to do each of those as I always feel I’m not doing it correctly or at least not making the most of the time.

Meditating is all about remembering that you are meditating and not letting your mind wander off too far into Imagination Land.

Although I dream up some of the best ideas while trying to stop myself from thinking.

Oh, the irony.

The same goes for musical splurging in the morning.

It’s always the best time for creating something new from scratch.

The mind is more clear when you first wake up.

So you are able to be more carefree when working on an idea.

I call it an idea but it’s not really.

I don’t think it up first and then try and input it into the computer.

I just go through a process of pushing pads and keys that make random sounds at times that feel ok.

If you do that enough though cool things start to happen.

Good ideas emerge from amongst all the dross.

And it’s those that keep you moving.
