The smell of getting stuff done

We're both of us writing right now, my son and I, and we're helping each other stay focused and on task. He and I both tend to notice how everything is connected to everything else, which is a blessing and a curse all at once. Everything is full of wonder, and everything is a distraction; we have lots to write about, and writing is hard.

Before we got started we each put a drop of Clarity on our palms, and breathed deeply, to help us remember how to focus. This is what it smells like to take hold of our thoughts, to channel our creative energies toward our respective goals.  Crisp as basil, sharp as rosemary, and serene as jasmine. It's the beautiful fragrance of getting stuff done.
