This past week, I found a book recommendation on Maria Popova's truly amazing blog, Brain Pickings. Below are the notes author Keri Smith "scribbled on a piece of paper in the middle of a sleepless night in 2007," ideas that formed the structure of her 2008 book, How to Be an Explorer of the World: Portable Life Museum.

Another goldmine. Thanks
Ken Smith's 13 how to ideas are not only consistent with the idea that being in the present is a key to creativity, they are a set of activities much easier to follow than the suggestions of Eckhardt Tolle in his "Power of Now".
Glad you like this post--I'm finally learning to keep things simple, not complicate my writing needs. Thanks, Al,for the comment.
