There is a wonderful space between drunkenness and sobriety... one which, it might be said, I have been seeking to hold myself in for some time. It is a space in which the big picture that comes so easily with sobriety and the attention to minutiae that comes so readily with drunkeness (and disappears to focus on another detail moments later) reaches an even balance.
In this space, what one takes for truth are best examined and what details that otherwise escapes the sober mind are best applied to the problem at hand.
What I would give to call upon this faculty at a whim, without the aid of alcohol, to gift to my mind the balance in which all great truths are not only discovered, but throughly considered.
