A Moment of Perfect Clarity

February 5th, 2004 | by mtpolitics |

Have you ever had a moment when you are pondering some point, and all the pieces fall into place with an almost-audible ‘click’ and the flash of insight almost blinds you?

The answer is right there in front of you, and it was so damned easy to come up with. Your brilliance is manifest.

Then, something else gets your attention, just for a nanosecond and you think, “Hey, pretty bird!”

Your insight?

Right in the toilet. Never happened.

It was something, though. I just know it was.

    Yes! Happens to me all the time.

    I’m the best writer while driving - I’ll craft these elegantly erudite posts in my head, but when I get to work they great phrases are gone.

    Last night.

    I had the whole thing in my head and it was blown away because I couldn’t remember the word ‘lobbyist’.

    Then, when I had finally remembered the word, the rest of it was gone.
