slow and steady, the tortoise, the proverb, the truth teller, looking before leaping, the probing stick in the the jungle, looking for snares or quicksand, and wondering, speeder bikes through giant forests, the wind whipping through hair, productized, messy, awful to touch, annoying to work with, when ease of use rules the day, and a return, comfort levels. downtime, required, needed, a recharging by filling with nothing, a rejuvenation by lack of action, of thought, of atrophy and apathy, to gather strength, to draw from the well, to put a damn up, if however temporary, to let the source build up again, because the source runs weakly, meanders, creeklike, through meadows and glens. checklists, boxes and pencils, lists and cross checks, groups of systems, good to go, no show boating, no extraneous, no pushing, but at least there's a schedule, a deadline, a countdown to something, rather than an open ended debate, a never ending string of, of, thoughts, streams of blathering from the unconcious, subconcious, aware of self, but sleepwalking, and cresting, waiting, searching for the wave to ride.
