grounding...

i received an email back from an architecture professor i respect very much... i sent something to him a while back just throwing out some thoughts that had been rolling around and around...funny i should get it today when i am ready to hear what he has to say....i thought he was ignoring me after the wordy heady email i sent....anyway he so kindly responded to all of my points then said:

'It sounds like you are thinking very deeply on all this. Usually when I find myself thinking in such terms I reground the thinking in some 'thing' whether an external system- like a city, a building, a film- or in a discipline, like making a drawing or music or a design. This becomes a way to test the thinking. Critical intuition. test. intuition. test.'

so important to stay grounded when head starts spinning...im going to install an automatic key for this....when mind starts going its only going to be allowed to go so far then like a pet on a lease im going to reel the sucker back in....powerful sucker that mind is and amazing if headed in right direction....

whos in control?
oh yes,
ME....
