Slow ideas

Each idea leads to another.*
Keith Haring

An inner alignment starts to develop that can release extraordinary energy and creativity, qualities previously dissipated by denial, inner contradictions, and unawareness of the situation and oneself.**
Peter Senge

Our ability to come up with ideas is astounding,
A single idea can set in motion a whole series of new thoughts;
It’s important for ideas to be made tangible or they’re not worth anything,
But before we rush forward into something we may regret, perhaps:
Nurture practices for becoming more self- and other-aware,
Seek the wisdom of others – past, present, and future,^
Begin small, experimentally – fail and learn, improve and
scale, or quit.

**Peter Senge’s The Necessary Revolution;
^I used to be secretive about my ideas, and, when I finally shared them, they were usually rubbish; the shared ideas were way better.
