It's a great thing. (I really don't use 'good'....)
Not only is it a great thing, it's a mandatory thing for the creative
process, and that moment of causal, syntactical, and connected discovery
that science and others have called the eureka moment.
It is the currentless (IMHO memeless) eddy of calm that supports the
mind, near cease from fatigue, to find a further reach in the universe.
