As I sat down to write this blog post, I thought I’d be spoiled for choice. When I tried to grab one of the many ideas I knew were waiting for me, however, I couldn’t bring a single one into focus.
I sat in silence, just waiting. I got dangerously close to a couple of them before they scattered like sand in a strong gust of wind. I continued to sit, brain buzzing, until it started to quiet.
When the ideas stopped moving around, I didn’t want to write about any of them. I just wanted to write this. Sometimes it’s good to just let your brain be quiet for a moment. The ideas can wait.
Before I started writing I titled the post placeholder, simply so that I could see something on screen when my Jekyll instance built locally. Now that I’ve written it, I’m leaving the title alone.
