Tired from waking so early.  Pushing through it, and centralizing.  Seeing this place as a playground, place to test ideas and approaches be it with writing or business or other creative.

A Priority Totem Pole, reassessing all fired irons.  Did that at lunch, and now thinking of where I am, with age, and how much time I have on the planet, not trying to be grim or morbid but measuring where this writer ought put his energy.  Further singularize and consolidate.  AND, where and what to eliminate, erase.

One idea for next meeting, exactly what I find myself more emphatic about, SIMPLIFYING.

Standing here, leaning on gratitude like I said in that video a couple weeks while at the beach in Pacifica with the Nurse and her youngest daughter, Jordan.

Just take your time, I remind myself.  Slow, with a certain steadiness.  No race to win.  Be in the moment, right here.  Think of Paris, not the Totem Pole.
