Turning Thought into Ink

1-14-2025 10:41AM

One minute behind but skipping the top line need to timestamp. Rock and Roll and like butter the ink is flowing nicely with this new pen. In lighter areas and what's new I'm excited about budgeting and if my parents want I can help them with that and I also need to take care of the trades I need to make. And the writing is going well and I think work is going well also. So becoming a better person is something I can work more on and figuring out how to have more fun in business and life. How to live healthier and hopefully longer.

Sometimes the simplest things and concepts: less is more, hard work pays off, you can't improve what you don't measure, or do, measure so you can improve. Smile more. Relax the body, do not carry stress and if you do end up channeling some unexpectedly learn how to clear it and this way you become a warrior. If something bothers you see if you can sit with it for a moment and a moment longer and what it is about, the quality that distracts and how quickly that can be handled and one can move on. Our time frame is limited, this seemingly tumbling [?] we [?] achieve yet some seem to achieve what others took decades even century to really improve upon, something who was found their special thing can do and then also the output of work at mastery level. The Shakespeare, Mozart, Davinci, Michaelangelo.

Genius before their time isn't quite the right fit as concepts of timelessness and the immense amount of actual contribution. Particularly when we think of bringing or giving birth to new contributions, new ideas and potentially ways of thinking and communicating. It is the glue for the mind to come out of its abstract and form through assemblage of letters into word into sentences and paragraphs to form meaning, guide insight or entertaining and delight inquisitive minds. The reality is it takes a very particular person who can do this grueling work, day over day, showing up again and again, finding time for extra hours, what seems like an obsession. Incorporating the craft into the life. As a method for living. That is the ultimate work discovery. Turn what you love into what others care about.

And for that you have to be caring, compassionate and gentle, well I have to since I also choose to align with my values in my writing as it is me and my subconscious. I've never been great at writing stories or beautiful descriptions or interesting characters but enjoyed reading some of my writing and a few of the more mundane things in life like journal statistics and grammar choices and pen functionality no one will ever see or care about. And how smooth the ink flows on a new, nice pen and how that gives me so much creative joy.

Handwriting is Art. Letters, how they are written and strung together. Words how they are chosen and laid out. Ultimately up to the author to decide how it all comes together. What happens when author, observer, critic, thinking entity is removed. Do we freeze up because the material dries up, or as we sift through the acres of dirt looking for that new seed to sprout. Mining for the gold and how I love to mine. The hard work, the give it your best shot and in the end its about the amount of grit you could muster up to put in the time, bring the focus and ultimately also plan and deliver.

There has to be balance and some structure applying to anyone. Maybe with different parameters and constraint but there is your makeup, what you train for and [?] to do what you like, what you habit, how you think, your perception. What you put in, and what you put out. What you do first. What you do at all. And sometime the doing needs to be more powerful than your why. Especially if your ego is involved, which it always is. It is a driver as well. Just be aware and don't let ego drive and let it rise, observe and then let it go. Ego get's in the way of getting things done. And how things are done. All things can be done with loving gentleness.

It's even more challenging after knowing how long it takes me to write an entire page to not finish that page. That must be that pomodoro thinking. If something is small enough once you start it you might as well finish that rep or session and the barrier to entry is so low with writing and you are free to take it anywhere. Portable, runs without power, just requires few things, paper, pen, light and place to do it. Different places color the light in different ways and might affect the writing.

We are now outside and that cold fresh air feels good and it feels good to be outside and alive and there is a pull to nature, but also a familiarity with having written in this spot before, with these sounds and surroundings. Focus on those difficult areas where you lack familiarity, make it a daily goal to remove those barriers and take action when it comes to communicate which you don't much care for but can also be interwoven into one's social fabric and controlled via environment. In these next 15 minutes before my next meeting let me talk about a focused topic, to finish off things.

Technology is like magic. That is an interesting statement. And are the cases [?] yet of where something would be like magic to us that we later [?] over and classify as technology or knowledge. Where did Archimedes learn so much from. And Socrates? Direct practice must have been one of those methods. Interacting with their thought stuff in creative ways another. And putting in the time and hours!

There was an other idea I was going to explore something but can't remember it anymore. Want to find that [?] and my silver shoulder bag. Get the garage a little [?]

And like that the day wraps itself like a present and I wrap myself up as well ready to embrace my sleep and slumber until morning. I wish for my stomach to settle out, the hot peppers and beans are having their way with me. In the Captain America movie there really could have been better character development and those coming of age moments but instead seems they wanted to get that show out the door with story but no catch. Ah that brings me to the early thought I had about what makes you think about and go back to the balance wheel app. Its to check-in, review where you last were and check your values.
