Have You Ever...

Have you ever had some good ideas, wrote them down, and then couldn't find them? I've got about, oh, a thousand notebooks full of ideas, songs, books in progress, and much more. However, not only can no one read and transcribe them fo me, I can't read them either. Sometimes you just get into one of those "flows" and things just come so rapidly the pen can't keep up.

Note to myself...get a digital voice recorder...a good one...one that has large capacity and removalable storage...one that will let me upload to the computer and site...one that will transcribe itself...one that will edit itself...one that will talk to itself...one that....

Anyway, we'll get organized here shortly...

Sometimes You Just "Gotta"...

In remodeling you sometimes have to "shore" up a wall and ceiling if you want to tear out the side of your house and put in a wall of windows for a much better view.

If you were going to go and change the world you might have to do some things first of all before you can undo others...and vice versa.

In coming to things I may say and tell you, I'll have to undo some things for you, simply because we all have "assumed" so many things "just because".

Just because we read it, or learned it in school, or heard about it in "church", or our parents believed or didn't believe something, so we did or didn't too. We "assumed" the "reality" of whatever it might be...until such a time when we find out it's not true or otherwise has no meaning...or the meaning has changed.

I know I've hardly went for long without coming to a whole other conclusion about any number of things, about the same time I figured I'd finally happened on the truth...and hadn't.

It means keeping an open mind and doing alot of "back-burner" thinking. Back Burner thinking is when you can't quiet wrap your mind around a concept or bit of information, just yet, but at some point it might just fit...so you just don't go and discard it.



While I am writing this to myself and for myself, I know too that you will be here looking over my shoulder, so I hope to be able to help point out how and where I have arrived at some point of view.

While you may catch me arguing with myself, I will not get into grand arguments with you about any subject. This is not what this is about.

Things I get into are more for me to remind myself of things I want to cover at some point so I am just setting up those markers...or "back-burners", to refer back to.

So, now that we all are completely confused...we can start on even ground.
