So for me the approach has become to go into a story not really sure of what I want to say, try to find some little seed crystal of interest, a sentence or an image or an idea, and as much as possible divest myself of any deep ideas about it.

[Parable of the Mustard Seed] – The Bible Matthew 13:31-32
