Icky Water

Once I was at a marriage seminar and I remember the speaker saying that a woman talking is like a garden hose - When you first turn it on, it sputters and spurts out a bunch of water and sediment for a little while, and then finally the pure cold water flows. They were making a point that women have to talk for a while before they can get their point out. I don't know if that's true of most women. I'm not a big talker so I can't relate to it that well. However, that concept always stuck in my mind and I think it definitely makes sense to me when it comes to creativity. We can't expect things to come out perfectly at the start. We will severely cripple ourselves if we wait for that. We must turn the hose on, come what may. The cold clear water can only flow behind the junk that has to come out first...
