I didn’t have a single creative thought yesterday.

Not while walking the dog in the cold morning air.
Not while hurriedly brewing tea.
Not while advising a student to organize their thoughts like knives, forks and spoons for Kondo-style joy.
Not while delaying lunch to add up last month’s expenses.
Not while eating two eggs, basted, with toast.
Not while training the dog.
Not while grumpily answering the phone.
Not while following a recipe, or making broth.
Not while exercising on the stationary bike.
Not while eating Cheerios on the couch in front of Superstore on tv.
Not while back at my desk, finishing sums.
Not while washing my face and brushing my teeth.
Not while in bed, falling asleep.
