Spacers are not spaced out but connected to the Source.
That is my gift. Words just come to me without any effort. They flow in and out of me or through me effortlessly. The Chinese, I believe call this, being in the wu wei. No one sees the hard work behind this. I worked very hard to learn to write well in school which was my foundation and continued to practice over the years. I always thought that this was very important for me to develop this skill from a very young age. I read a lot and practiced to write and eventually came into my own style. It took many years of practice to reach a point of effortlessness in my writing.
