The ideas in this series of posts came an hour or so before the alarm went off. (I’ve found this time when I awaken early to be strangely thought-provoking, whether in what I need to do during the day or in more abstract thoughts.)

I feared I might forget them during the focus on daily tasks - this has happened - so as soon as I had a cup of coffee sitting beside me I began typing the ideas. I was surprised how easily they flowed from the impetus of my early morning thoughts as they coalesced on the screen.
