Well, I failed to write an article today. I have a draft. It's mostly done. But it sucks. I thought if I just wrote about the thing that came to my mind that I would emotionally connect with it and that something of value my spew out. Or, in the case of my last blog post, something so ridiculous that it could be both funny in its absurdity and kind of valuable in its bits of truth.
But. It just sucked. So I won't post it now. I'll rewrite it later, because I really think there is something I need to say about the event I was writing about, even though it happened more than 10 years ago.
I could learn a lot in life by applying this principle to everything. Now is not always the time. The way I am thinking is not always right. In fact, it probably sucks. To put something away for a while, regardless of the energy around it. To let it gestate, until one day, maybe, it's ready to be said. I think that's wisdom, but I don't know. Because, really, I suck at doing it.
