BDS Reflection

I wanted to try the idea of just writing down all thoughts on paper to inspire imagination today in class.  It was mentioned in one line of Boice and that line got me thinking, I have never just written down everything and anything that goes through my mind. It was an incredibly freeing exercise. I started off complaining about how I left my computer at home so I couldn't do my online class, but then just started rambling about anything and everything from my roommate's 21st birthday last night to epistemology and philosophy of perceptions. I just wrote anything that came to mind. I did this until it was time to take a comfort break. During the break I found myself still contemplating epistemology, and realized I was waiting as Boice suggests, thinking about your topics while not writing. After the break, I found myself somewhat inspired, and in the five or so minutes after the break we wrote, I filled half a page debating philosophy with myself. I don't consider myself the most imaginative or creative person but I could feel this surge of creativity and logic surging through me. After class, I still had the urge to write, but I figured I may as well actively wait and contemplate what I have already written to analyze and decipher through it. This practice really got me excited, now I want to try it anytime I'm in a bind when writing.
