This is absolutely true, Carol. I have been noticing again how all of my best work has come *through* me, not *from* me. It arrived as an act of grace while I was plodding away at some mundane endeavor. What I think of as 'me' could never have accomplished that, and can't replicate it if I try.

I find that intuition precedes analytical thought by a big margin, but that analysis is essential in retrospect, as a precursor to the next intuitive leap. So it's not that you can think *too much,* you just have to get it in the right order.
