Those moments when genius or inspiration, the daemon, is so close, and it occurs to you that this kind of technicolor truth must be obvious to everyone, if only we were not too tired, beaten, or self-doubting to listen to what we ourselves have to say....And maybe what we recognize as (or call) genius,
is just a radical faith in oneself, one's own mind and experience.  IP: Logged |

daemon1. Classical Mythology. a. a god.
b. a subordinate deity, as the genius of a place or a person's attendant spirit.
2. a demon. Also, daimon.

Thanks, Pixie.  Thanks, AG.
Yeah, I was thinking of "daemon"
in the sense that it is used in
this great book: http://www.amazon.com/Genius-Mosaic-Hundred-Exemplary-Creative/dp/0446691291/sr=1-1/qid=1161535481/ref=sr_1_1/002-1408853-2869638?ie=UTF8&s=books It is the higher mind of an individual;
the genius behind the genius;
the inspiring creative intelligence
within a man or woman,
which even he/she cannot take credit for,
but can learn to trust. "Ideas come when they want,
not when I want."
- Nietzsche
