I really enjoyed this. So much great advice. You articulate it much more beautifully - but it reminds of how when I'm feeling overwhelmed, focusing on tidying up my house helps me to see my way forward. By just picking up each item right in front of me - by the time I'm finished I can see clearly again and feel much better.
Thank you, that's a lovely example of fog navigation. Tidying works precisely because it is sequential and immediate: one object, then the next. No horizon required. The fog clears not because you solved anything, but because you kept moving through it. :)
Thank you for these recent entries. Much beauty, richness, and food for thought — and none of the patterns you describe boil down to clichés. As both grateful reader and editor by trade, I very much hope you carry on in this vein, without limiting yourself (or not just yet). Aren’t ideas are just more bees — those that get into one’s bonnet?
Thank you, Ouliana. I often try to bring my thoughts down to a single focus, but I guess this is simply not how my mind works. So indeed, I will carry on mapping all these diverse patterns, trying to make sense of them. A bonnet full of bees, then, might be a noisy way to live, but it certainly makes it interesting.
