circles

8:30pm and chatting.

Sometimes I get into circles of thinking that aren't helpful. They might be logical and pretty and concise. But they only serve themselves. And that's no fun.

Bubbles of intellectual self-importance (and self-self-deprication) are helpfully popped in the light of dialogue with wise people.

Then sometimes I just need to shut up and listen.

Was back at work today and enjoyed the cycle-commute, even if it was damp and relatively chilly. And seeing some familiar faces. Making a few creative thoughts and sketching a plan for the week ahead. 170 emails. Of which 25 require action.
