Okay - so that means for my session in an hour I should, uh, well, hmmmm... There are like an infinite number of options. geeez...

Part of me just wants to have fun talking about psychology. One of the books I'm reading now discusses consciousness, self and emotions. All about the neurological basis for feelings. Of course, such a cool conversation could better be done in a coffee shop with the blues playing.

Another part of me wants to share with her (because no one I know is crazy enough to listen to me) the delight I take in grammatical constructions in foreign languages. Now, the reason I want to talk to T about this is that since she's being paid, she can't run away like everyone else I know.

Or, I'd love to talk about the absolute joy I feel when I play with my little grandsons. It would be great for T to see another side of myself more often.

Or, I'd like to discuss how my philosophical approach to life has affected me so strongly. But even so it didn't keep me from dancing all night at the wedding last weekend.

T told me a few months ago that she knows a lot about the creative process. I would love to pick her brain but we just haven't had time. I mean, how do you use those metaphors??

I want to know how likely it is that I can at least hover around the perfection target but I know she won't answer that question (as if she knows. _)

But probably more than anything I would like to get in touch with my deepest feelings but I don't know how to do that.

So, 45 minutes from now - we'll see what comes up.
Thanks for this!
