Commitment

So.... I read this on a coffee cup today.

Since this is something I found...  I'll get on it.

I like commitment.  It's important to me.  Commitment does not scare me; it defines me.  It really does free me from my internal critic, as the cup says.

The author of this quote was cut off, I had some iSight issues.  Her name is Anne Morriss, and I'm sure I'm violating lots of copyright right rules...  but yeah.  She is a regular Starbucks customer.  She described herself as "organization builder, restless American citizen, optimist."  

Commitment has been something I've always had conversations about.  People seem to think that a commitment is not having control of something (not having control is another post entirely.) 

Take a second and think about how the things that you have committed to and haven't.  Why haven't you?  and what happened when you did?  What changed?  

I know for me it creates a certain lack of restrictions, and removes noise from my headspace.  Which I enjoy, because it's noisy enough in there.  

Make a commitment to something.  It could be beneficial.

Back in another 3-4 months, I suppose.

Collapse

The dictionary is useful for a lot of things, like:

Collapse: (American Heritage)
v. intr.
To fall down or inward suddenly; cave in.
To break down suddenly in strength or health and thereby cease to function: a monarchy that collapsed.
To fold compactly: chairs that collapse for storage.



After making many promises (both outward and inward) that this wouldn't happen again, here it is. A blog, about something.

This little rendition will be different. Less of a journal and more of a collection/anthology/exhibit.  We're finding things to collapse into.

This corner is going to be an (eventually) collaborative effort of like minds who have the perspective of searching for things where they are hidden, finding things where other minds might not see them, and discovering things about ourselves and about [AΩ] in the process.

When in reality, discovering things about [AΩ] was most likely the point of the process all along.

Enjoy.
