Day 47 — I realized different kinds of thinking do not have to defeat each other. FRI Something happened today. D1 and D2 started as a joke. Chad, Darryl and Darryl 2. A little nod to Newhart. Then the joke became useful. D1 is the one who can take a simple question and somehow discover […]

Day 7 — The fragments began to sound like music. SUN Something happened today. I was listening to Fool’s Overture by Supertramp. I have loved music for much of my life, and one of the things that fascinates me about that piece is that it feels so large and deliberate. Then there is the wonderful […]

Day 44 — My car battery died at almost exactly the wrong time and somehow the morning still worked. TUE Something happened today. I had an appointment with Jody at Ignite. I had been up late getting material ready. I finished printing with maybe five minutes to spare. I went out to the car, turned […]

Day 2 — The little treat turned into a stew bone. TUE Something happened today. Not every discovery disappears after the first bite. Some of them stay with you. You turn them over later. You remember them while driving. They reappear in another conversation. Something happens three days later and suddenly the earlier thought has […]

Day 42 — I found a sentence that took some pressure off me. SUN Something happened today. The clues will always be a better guide than I could ever be. I liked it because it demoted me. In a good way. I do not have to be the brilliant planner who knows what everything means. […]

Day 33 — A slice of bread exposed the danger of playing a game without knowing the rules. SAT Something happened today. I had a dream. Two people were with me. One of them suggested a game where I could win a lot of money. The game involved two slices of bread. One was buttered […]

THE QUESTION BEHIND THE QUESTION Day 11 — I found a nut inside the shell. THU Something happened today. A difficult feeling can be like trying to chew a nut without cracking the shell. You bite down. It hurts your teeth. You get frustrated. The whole thing begins to seem badly designed. Then you remember […]

Day 62 — I realized preparation and action are not the same thing. SAT Something happened today. I had drafted emails connected to the Zoom story. Good. Useful. Ready. Then I said, Do not send anything. That distinction seems small until you think about how often finishing a draft creates momentum toward pressing the button. […]

Day 39 — I made myself laugh with a sentence about karma. THU Something happened today. Sometimes karma takes longer than normal to make it all the way around. Not because you are not worth it, but because it is battling headwinds. I loved the image immediately. Not because I had suddenly developed a scientific […]
