Just thinkin'
Some dictionary definitions for musing are:
1. ‘to be absorbed in thought; meditative.’ 2. ‘Ponder, contemplate, deliberate.’ 3. ‘To comment thoughtfully or ruminate upon.’ I like this one.. 4. ‘to gaze meditavely or wonderingly upon – to be astonished.’
This blog will be my attempt at doing just that.. sharing my musings.. first with myself, then with anyone else that is interested..
So what exactly do I think? Great question! Part of the problem I have is not taking the time to 1) consider or gaze wonderingly at things long enough for them to make an impression. 2) choose things worthy of such reflection. 3) articulate and document my thoughts on these things so that I can know where I stand, if and when I want to move from there, and how to move forward in my thinking. (I just did a minature musing on my musing shortcomings and an action plan came together.. sweet.. I guess it works!)
Motivations? I want to know what I think.. Sometimes I think I know what I think… I but I’m not always right about that if I think about it more, and articulate it..
We know and hear a lot about stuffing feelings and the pitfalls of doing so.. Could the same be true of thoughts?
Oh.. and here’s a big motivation. I think people think they know what I think, but really often really don’t.. It will be kinda fun to point to one of my own postings to bring clarity if and when there is confusion.
I want those close to me to know my thoughts, so they can know me better.. and so we can think about important/cool/fun things together. And I want to hear what others think about what I think.. (I think??) And I want other thoughtful people to help me formulate and expland my thinking.
Another motivation.. I think I have a lot of thoughts that get jumbled up in my head.. and if I don’t get them out, I may get brain damage.. if I don’t already have it!
Scope? Anything and everything that comes to mind.. Ah, I like that.. whatever comes to mind! Free at last! Well..That is.. whatever comes to mind AND moves into the category of a ‘musing’.. for me.. as defined above.. That should narrow it down quite nicely.
So.. there you have it! Please feel free to share your musings on my musings on musing, if you have any.. and we can muse happily ever after! (I think??)
