The Marvelous Inefficiency of the Human


"Shams and delusions are esteemed for soundest truths, while reality is fabulous."
— Thoreau, "Where I Lived," Walden

Right now I'm navigating the Extra Fifteen Minutes — I was all ready to leave the office and go downstairs to meet up with my ride — got a call from Charlie saying they were just heading down here. Another hurdle!

Up till now I might have taken the opportunity to check Facebook from my phone, come up to the office and get on the internet; instead I'm down here at street level, looking out at Exchange Street, and writing!! So totally amazing!

The creation of SPACE — instead of cramming more in, just allowing the space to be there. It's like clearing the desk and not then automatically cluttering it. WOW. TIME can equal SPACE. SPACE = creativity!

The marvelous inefficiency of the human gives rise to creativity!
