Process/Input
I know my mind is not yet scalpel-sharp. My thoughts wander around dizzily, sometimes bumping up against an insight, but most often coming back to rest on me. Concentration, focus, clarity: most of the time I have none of these qualities.
Opinions grow slowly within me. If I let an idea be for a while, tending to it now and then, it will usually sprout, and reveal some fruit. More simply (but still metaphorically), I need to digest ideas before they can come out of me coherently.
All this is to say that ideas are being volleyed at me from all directions. I am trying to give them space where they have landed, to let them grow.
