Lucky you, I argue with myself. Haha

I was raised Quaker, I spent a whole lot of time meditating because that's just what they do. I never got much from it EXCEPT an hour to relax my brain, not think too hard. And that's when the obvious answers would be, well, obvious. Quakers call it the still, small voice of God. I think it's just giving your subconscious a few minutes to get to the crux of whatever the problem is, break it down to bare essentials and not worry about all the stuff that doesn't matter so much. Mostly, when you aren't distracted by side issues (what will *whoever* think, how can I make it work, etc) you realize you already know what to do, how to act, and the next course of action.

Now... I'm good enough, I'm smart enough...
