     I kind of feel similar to this! I've been having the most fun playing 
     in a completely unstructured and non-goal oriented way. I'm pretty 
     obsessive about getting my gear into a configuration which inspires 
me 
     to play and is easy to move. That said, it's pretty easy to want to 
     then push to get out there and use it. 
     
     It's important for me to take stock of what the *real* chemistry is 
     between me and the other people I choose to play with, or the 
     environment I choose to play in. Then to remember to count my 
     blessings and respect those few people and places which invoke in me 
     the subtle and sublime.
     
     I'm very thankful for those moments of clarity in an otherwise 
     demanding practice! 8-> The mention above of God does indeed remind 
me 
     of the esoteric nature of music.
