Was that an example of what happens?
Damned if I know what was in my mind. I rarely know why thoughts pop in and out. Sometimes on reflection I might rationalize cause and effect, but that is perilously circular. Sometimes I get things in dreams, too. It's all okay with me as life would be incalculably boring without it.
