I guess no matter what a PWP is doing, that PD monster we all live with, is rather like a shadow---impossible to get rid of. I was reading one of my quilt books entitled "Fractured Landscapes" by a famous quilt teacher and I couldn't help but think of the analogy between her "Fractured Landscapes" and what happens to a PD brain when we try to get too many thoughts going at once. This lady makes a fairly good sized wall quilt, then proceeds to cut it into geometric shapes, which she then sews back together. What happens is when you are viewing her quilts, you can still pick out all the trees, horizon, water, land, etc. but they are not in a normal progression. Its rather like driving down a street which has a lot of trees planted fairly close together, and the sun shining brightly behind them, there are areas of sunshine and dark, but because of the size of the trees and the spaces in between, the image is not consistent. I wish we were capable of receiving GIF graphics so I could scan one of her quilt pictures and show you what I mean. Anyhow, before they started me on Sinemet, I'll bet my thought process looked just like Katie's "Fractured Landscapes". The image was there, but not in a sequence. Since Sinemet, I have learned to have no more than two thoughts going at once, otherwise I have "Fractured Thoughts." Long live Sinemet---come on cure!!!!!!!!
