It's related to FLOW. When I was obsessed with the Eastern
   Orthodox Church, I read all about "flow" side of deep mystical
   prayer states, noticing the mind and emotions as they pass by.

   Then a few years later read "Flow" by Malcolm Gladwell... led to
   a slight infatuation with Gladwell ('til I realized he was
   popularizing commonly known things... but honestly, I'm glad he
   did - and he's a great storyteller. Still disappointed that it
   wasn't "new", but I liked how he packaged it together).

   Then, 2 years ago, I went on a quest to record my EVERY SINGLE
   THOUGHT... and spent 6 months writing every thought down...
   well, for the first three months, then it tapered. Thousands of
   notecards, things on the computer, etc.

   Learned a lot. Still working on that "I'm gonna find out who I
   am" project. Never ends, always fun. smile emoticon
