Writing, even a page, is the test of whether your not thinking has invaded your thinking. I fill notebooks of good quality paper with pen and think and never look at them again. Is it significant that hand writing becomes more regular when you focus on the letter you have just written and not the one you are writing? This is the opposite of cutting a straight line on a bandsaw freehand. There you focus on the point just in front of the blade. Following a curve with a knife in carving is like this too. The feeling is of drawing the blade into the line with your intention. In writing there is going back into the fund to make withdrawals.

Thinking and Not Thinking
Writing, even a page, is the test of whether your not thinking has invaded your thinking. I fill notebooks of good quality paper with pen and think and never look at them again.

This is the opposite of cutting a straight line on a bandsaw freehand. There you focus on the point just in front of the blade. Following a curve with a knife in carving is like this too.
