some of my best thoughts come when I'm trying not to think at all

I'll be trying to meditate and clear my mind, or focus on my breathing, and thoughts intrude, but they're good thoughts.. they try to lure me away thinking "oh, this is a good thought, I should stop meditating and write this down"

meta-ly, I had this very thought while meditating, and although I didn't stop the meditation, I did "hang on" to the thought so that I would remember to write it down..

darn thoughts.. surviving and reproducing in my mind..
