in the dirt once or twice.
Up again, you shall never be so afraid of a tumble.

Consistent physical structures can allow unbounded intuitive clarity.
- Mary Anne Radmacher

I recognize this in my writing process. A consistent writing structure opens the door to amazing insights. I recognize the truth of this in my daily habits.
