Monday, almost. Sitting and listening to the radio, a program interviewing "Bobby Fisher", the boy chess champion who became a Tai Chi champion. He wrote a book on learning, the creative process as interchangeable between mediums and fields, applying the same self-knowledge in whatever one does. Now it's a pledge drive though. One more week of classes and then a three week break. What I'm gong to do for work is unclear. Always a problem, but always learning. Reading is most important, according to Bobby Fisher. Feeling disconnected from the methods of success and leaving those methods behind as furniture. A long term learning process or reaching out from what you know, a self knowledge as important as anything. And in the study of eastern philosophy one finds the study of eastern philosophy, and are not particularly prone to sharing it. Bits of a day and thoughts about what happened previously, the study of meditation, and aching backs and books of knowledge doesn't make for smart. Chicago carbon climate exchange. These kinds of entries and to focus on the process, to learn the mechanics without a second thought, and to slow it down. When washing the car, the same skills transfer to circular motions. A wealthy old man. Pledge drive. Not a very large bag, but to pick your head up from a certain kind of meditation, one unique to one's self. A page requirement, or here's what I do, practice being a kind of mother. One o'clock. Animal cruelty. And first the news, near the top of the hour. Perhaps it doesn't "do" any good, but that's not the point, a recognition of one's own skills and the careerist path once removed, how to "put together" a life instead of living the one most readily available. Having a neighbor over for dinner. Resisting temptations you've engaged in before. Restrict learning to what you don't know. The basic membership level, the joy of a given. A premium subscription.
