on thinking

I spend a great deal of time thinking. Just thinking and pondering and analyzing and wondering. And I think that's one of the very greatest things I could do with my time.

Since February of this year I have composed several lists (news flash: I'm a list person) containing dozens of ideas I want to write about.

Because there's something powerful about words - the arranging, the freedom to choose, to construct.

I like this power, and I like how I feel when I can compose a sentence/work that expresses my thoughts thoroughly and precisely.

In that search for precision, I'm often less than concise. It's a personal weakness - I'm working on it. But I'm also kind of embracing it (hence the carefully-selected blog title).

Join me, if you wish, and we'll wonder and ponder and analyze together.

We'll ask questions.

We'll be cerebral.

We'll explore.

We'll discover.

We will be satisfied.
