A moment that happens for me when a piece of writing moves suddenly into "the zone", as you put it. In writing fiction, particularly the improvisational type of writing that I've managed to make time for, there is often a sudden shift out of the temporal and into an effortless open field, where characters suddenly raise their heads and tell their own tale. Writer as conduit. Ah, I loved Lieh Tzu back when. Thanks for a lovely post, it makes me want to go look in the big black box of ancient writings and post an old piece on the same subject. Have a happy new year! Hello Loren – I very much like Graham’s observation about Lieh Tzu’s use of Confucius as character to talk about that delicate, ungraspable moment of non-effort, non-struggle.

Certainly not me. I'm already dreading a hectic weekend full of visiting and parties. If it’s not a “goal,” I don’t know anyone who’s arrived there, either, Brian.

Certainly not me.

I’m already dreading a hectic weekend full of visiting and parties.

I've yet to achieve that for my own. To truly live in the moment and be without doubts is a worthy goal. I’ve yet to achieve that for my own.
