9th circuit seventh star door Unexpected Elaboration

Na nag nab nap nay nab


Playfully approach more endeavors, break them down into lengths. Engage in the parts that really inspire. Do the parts that require making up new ways to accomplish them. Try those new methods. Invite a friend along. Everything flows in some grand motion. Dust off the best thing that could happen. Let’s see what is happening. Let’s use imagination and live each small moment as fully as we can, down to the inspiration and the almost unnoticed pause before the next breath. We can be amused when we pass through a final door and find we are back out on the street under the street lamp where we started. Come with me down the chute to... [dear reader: Send me my reference to coming out in the street again, please.]


Does power flow from simple truths? If someone notices our behavior and we sense they would like to ask what we are doing, consider telling them that we are having fun playing. Leave it at that and see if they ask other questions. Being gently truthful about play can bring it back into our lives where it belongs. We have a lot of unexpected playful elaboration to engage in over this stage of our life.

Radicalized elaboration, radical playfulness,
goes to the edge of what you do before you complete anything. Add and transform actions of life, changing your perspective. The material, not just material, an approach to material shifts; engage the process, repeatedly attempting to make subtlties visible. Fully played with material like an experiment you can’t observe directly, reflects some other measured mystery.
