I started this blog over a year ago with the intention of posting my observations on the world for all to read (well, all three of you). But I never really got to the first post. I've now realized that the problem was not knowing where to start. There is a passage from Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance that sums it up:
“Getting stuck is the commonest trouble of all. Usually, your mind gets stuck when you’re trying to do too many things at once. What you have to do is try not to force words to come. That just gets you more stuck. What you have to do now is separate out the things and do them one at a time. You’re trying to think of what to say and what to say first at the same time and that’s too hard. So separate them out. Just make a list of the things that you want to say in any old order. Then later we’ll figure out the right order.”
So, there we have it. The problem of what to say first has now been solved. Let's see if it takes me any less than 15-months to get to my next post.
