The art of remembering happens when you least expect it. It happens when you're not looking, when you are out of earshot, at a distance from the thing you are to remember.
Remembering happens when the thing you are to remember wants you to remember it. If you think you are the only one in relationship with your thinking, think again.
The thought you thought has a life of its own, just like you do, and it has a time and place, a home, just like you do. It is in relationship with you. It is not selfish, it shares itself with you, just as you do when you think a thought.
The art of remembering happens easiest when you enter your inner studio and take a deep breath. How many times do you get to do that in a day?
Our culture is designed to think faster and faster, because it is desperate for ideas, but the speed with which is built into the system out there, would have you tear away from your own self in order to claim the ideas.
How to mend the tear? Come back in relationship to your own self. Slow down. To slow down is the fastest way to regain your own thoughts, to value your own thinking, to remember that it is you that is willing to listen at a pace that doesn't tear you away from your own self, your own thoughts, creative thoughts, thoughts that matter, thought s that make a difference because they are different.
The land of same just hid the "a", "h", and "d": AsHameD of its inability to think of something different, something new.
The art of remembering is one of reclaiming time for yourself, and the only way you get more time is to slow down.
Hope this day finds you being tapped on your own shoulder by your own remembering, reminding you to share something different.
