“Here is my secret: I don’t mind what happens.”
– Jiddu Krishnamurti, quoted in Practical Living by Brian Enos

“As long as an idea stays in your head it is perfect. But perfect things are never real. Immediately put an idea down into words or in a sketch, or as a cardboard prototype. Now your idea is much closer to reality because it is imperfect.”
– Kevin Kelly, Excellent Advice for Living

A reminder to self: the glory is in the doing not the reflecting.
The giving not the receiving.
The attempting not the perfecting.
I will resolutely stand by this methodology of fragments.
I will blurt out ideas as they are emitted.
I will not seek to hone, polish and render them into a state of perfection.
I seek not fool’s gold but interludes of solace.
I write as a form of adventure: I seek new ways of looking at the old self: me.
And there is always a parade of old selves to view when you make a habit of setting down new thoughts.
