Without extraneous words or phrases or clauses, there
will be room for implication.
The longer the sentence, the less its able to imply,
And writing by implication should be one of your
goals.*
Verlyn Klinkenborg

At sixty-six years of age, one might reasonably say, “Oh, enough growth already,” but there has to be growth and change, because life is growth and change.**
Anne Lamott

You and me,
Whatever our age,
We need to live by implication,
Stripping away the unnecessary and diverting
until we find our true focus and direction;
I often invite those I work with to step out of
their ordinary world with all that overcomplicates,
Into a special world of who they are at their core,
Imagining how to be this person in the ordinary world of work and relationships
and activities – if we are unable to imagine a more
energised, talented, and re-orientated self then we are in trouble,
Mind you, I haven’t found anyone like that yet.
