D77: sallys mean spring , clarity comes after action
what's in this email:how do we know the crab isn't pondering itself and the spider is afraid? Greetings Thinkers, Monday, new week, the way I see it. My coffee is back to good. Heavy cream was got! through doing it, clarity will comeThinking more about the quote from yesterday. The idea that clarity doesn't come before action and that we often feel - "I need to get clear about X BEFORE doing Y". The idea that clarity comes FROM action. That you don't have to get clear before doing. I see how this unconsciously went with Kymology Challenges long ago. Before I knew what I was doing, or why I was doing what I was doing when I was doing 30 Day Challenges all the time. I was doing them to explore and discover and figure. Now that I have been guiding them for others, it pairs with the conundrum people often feel that they have to PICK THE RIGHT THING to do for a Challenge. And I always say - you can pick anything and it will work. If you pick anything you are drawn to/ attracted to, it will work. It works because it's about the action being the catalyst for the clarity you seek. You could study rocks every day, draw a picture everyday, forgo alcohol everyday, choose 30 days of discipline, or words, or not stubbing your toe. Whatever thing you choose, in doing it, clarity will come. That's what I say about Kymology Challenges. That's what I have found about doing that Work. Yesterday was lovely (weather wise). I uncovered my first sally of the season. I have such a thing for sallys and they mean spring to me. Spring and a good place. Wherever you turn up a sally, good something is there. I also popped on my flips for the first time yesterday! It reminded me of last year and how I wore boots a lot during the flip flop season and how that was very weird for me. I'm the kind of person who wears flip flips 300+ days a year. Apparently I felt it was necessary with the kind of work I was doing. I am not shy for doing stuff you shouldn't do in flip flops, in flip flops but apparently I did become a little shy to it because last year I had a flip flop tan line AND a boot tan line! That was hilarious! Well yesterday I broke out the flip flops for the first time and my toes got some air. Not like hang 10 though, not that. Who remembers hang 10 by the way? Remember you can START UNCLEALRY. Energy to you 🔺 KG standouts / other thoughtscurrently (NOT) reading:Books:
word of the dayAccismus: an act of feigning refusal or indifference to an object or invitation when the person actually highly desires it, a feigned refusal of something earnestly desired. use it: Declaring you don't want what you do want? quote to considerthe crab crabs "Go as far as you can - way out yonder where the crawdads sing. Just means far in the bush where critters are wild, still behaving like critters." means - the crab does not sit and think about what it should do (as a crab), the crab does not ponder how to be a crab. the crab crabs. "that spider is more afraid of you than you are" how do we know the crab isn't pondering itself and the spider is afraid? Energy to you.

SOC = Stream Of Consciousness When to Which / When is it Which: a Kymology philosophy that every single thing has its equal and opposite true and good side. Every single thing is literal here. Exhibit. When I say the word Exhibit it's my way of saying a post or a share. I exhibit my life by posts and publishings on social media and blog spaces. These are my Exhibits. A Year of Inspiring, The Kymology Daily - what it is: daily emails about whatever I'm thinking about and writing out. Not quietly. Not maybe. Not sometimes. Not irregularly. Not in silence until it's done. Daily. A Year of Inspiration, the Kymology Daily Email is for and about getting my stuff written out and down. Catalogged and Exhibited. And practicing. Practicing regular exhibiting, and writing, writing, writing. "It's been awhile since I've been called inspiring." Then be inspiring again. Don't break commitments you make to yourself. You never say "you're human" to a huge success. Coordinating to get the thing done, is not not doing the thing. How you arrange your details matters. A list of words to remember and use "more":
Everyone's nothing is different. is it worth it, is it worth it, is it worth it - saying this to everything! Things you could know about me:I'm not a cherry picker of anything. I like to use things that exist rather than start from new or scratch. I am typically an ostrich about politics, news, current events, pop culture and media. I dislike under thought things like cliches and commonly said quotes and phrases. Don't tell me what to do, or say "how how are you?" or "I'm sorry for your loss" unless you want to annoy me or you really, really mean it. And know it can be hard to tell which it is, and I'm wrong not infrequently. I have a tendency to make things every day things. This is where 30 Day Challenges come from! Like yourself. Know yourself. Express that self. Peepers are my favorite sound. Triangle is my favorite shape. 54 is my number. I never need to talk. why I do what I do:to "make you" THINK. I don't mind if your experience and perception of me "makes you" be more mindful, use your brain more, "think too much" or consider something more carefully, or differently, or moves you to be (more) thoughtful or intentional or authentic. All of these things are reasons why I do what I do and why I am the way I am. I consider these things good things, so if I'm the catalyst for anything like this, so far I think that's a good thing.

what's in this email: what today? as a organizing life question You need the thing you don't have in order to get the thing you want to have? "You can't fill from an empty cup."
