I choose this title for my first post as a blogger. I am a blogger but not a writer in that it is often dubious to jump headlong into a project for which there is an uncertain start, uncertain end, unclear priority on an uncertain timescale. blogging empowers wordsmith pursuits with a sub-lifetime production-feedback cycle.
Productive clarity is one goal. Could I revisit my blog at the end of life and feel connected to the path of a playful mind. Did I shy away from the unknown. Did I deny myself exploration of a notion that is orthogonal to the conventional plane of existence.
There is danger in writing. The danger of unwarranted repose or giddy satisfaction. There is danger in not writing. This is the prioritization of the most recent notion to come to mind.
The zen of writing is in the simplicity of the medium, with only 26 letters and ten numbers forming the raw product and spaces, commas, parentheses, periods, exclamation marks, etc determining form, style, impact, and human resonance.
The structural connotations — there are open-ended statements that are non-exclusive of continuations, elaborations, (in this case, a tangent inspired by a notion that did not fully capture the felt intention).
Words are powered by emotion and grounded in logic be it understood or subconscious… what a victory to fully express the nature of a situation such that what emerges from the situation is completely natural. Disparate contexts may provide relief or a common framework.
On words. Some words are formed from a imperative core. For instance, take “completely.” When broken down, the root of complete could be construed as a command with regards to “ly”, so that completing “ly” could be an implied possibility for the reader if the task of reading is flexibly interpreted.
Anyways. I digress. There are cues clues and that may lead to curious discoveries, be characterizable as tangents, lemmas, or hypotheses. The main idea is to illuminate cycles, truths, or a reality in a way that allows for calm acknowledgment of events as they unfold if they require no immediate action, for the wheels need not immediately hit the road in a direct way, but may indeed be still calmly in the design phase, with a renewed focus applied.
There are many possibilities when a relaxation of imperatives accompanies alternation in focus and a listing of percolated notions, with a felt criticality of the etching in the memory. Ther
