Random Thoughts - by Tim

 

Ok, here is another collection of random thoughts that I have scribbled down over the past few weeks.

• I am so enjoying reading the book Einstein's Dreams by Alan Lightman.  Cheryl introduced me to it and it so reflects the style of writing that I try to obtain.  It is clear, articulate.  Word choice is simple and deliberate.  I am hoping to write something in a similar style at somepoint.  
• The ignorant will not get me but the wise will understand. 
• A barber pole gives the illusion that stripes are going up or down when in reality stripes are going nowhere they're just same place such is our lives we don't our past and our future are irrelevant to this current moment that we seem like we're in flux 
• Characters in books and people in general seem to look at the world with two options that they have an option A or option B, while the real world and the audience looking in realizes there's a multitude of options, but it is much less interesting to write a story that way.
• I have a theory that omniverts tend to lean towards imposter syndrome.  As I navigate between two polar opposites of my personality, there are lots of times in my life where I feel like an imposter.  (A literate theatre geek on stage with professionals.  A literate well spoken hard worker in a room full of die-hard bureaucrats.).  This is not a flaw, but a natural response to having spent less time on a craft or project than their peers.  The beauty, however, is that they can navigate from project to craft to adventure seamlessly living in multiple worlds.
• We are not always ready to see when opportunities present themselves in front of us.  The important thing is we are right where we need to be now.
