Moments
Out of the blue, I’m struck by something funny or odd. Or I have a flash of understanding, a sudden emotion, a glimpse into the hidden or unconscious world. These transient moments are happening all the time, and they encapsulate something, but if I don’t give them attention, if I don’t make a note, they’re gone, and I forget. A few scribbled words on a scrap of paper – that’s enough to bring a moment back, and then I can write about it.

Cat
I love it when this sort of thing happens – to me or someone else.
