Validated by a Single Footfall

“The more I consult my feelings during the day, tune in to myself to see if what I am doing is what I want to be doing, the less I feel at the end of the day that I have been wasting time.”

Hugh Prather, Notes to Myself

“The body doesn’t think. It knows exactly what it needs to know. My imagination is much more interesting than my life. Even when uninvited, it remains in the corner creating its own world.”

I am back, to precisely no fanfare.

I am writing here again. A fresh tree has been felled. I heard, but it matters not that no one else will.

I want to write, which is the exact opposite of wasting time.

My curiosity is scratched by my reading. I report on how my mind heals the wounds with new sentences of my own.

It doesn’t have to be grand.

My life and imagination cannot be summarised in one blog post.

Instead, like everything else worth doing, it’s all in the steps.

I like today’s footprint. But already I am listening to hear where tomorrow’s footfall will take me.
