To-do list as a ground of sanity

iamomThank you, list.
Without you, I would lose track of my appointments, I would forget past conversations, and I would not be prepared for what's coming up next.
Having you here in front of me, a canvas ready to be marked upon, helps to keep me grounded; it helps to keep the multiple connections to the world intact.
Maintaining the integrity of those connections is the norm. It's the natural way to be. There is no other way we could be, other than in the natural way we are. However, none of those connections in and of themselves is important. Discovering what is the nature of this connection versus that one, of this relationship in contrast with another; these are not important discussion topics in The Ultimate Debate. I say this now, because at one time, most of my energy went into contemplating those topics. In retrospect, I find that they actually sidetracked me from realization.
I know, it's all just talk. Sitting here talking about it cheapens it just as much as what I'm talking about does. But that's why I'm here, talking and writing and looking for people who share this understanding, however you wish to describe it. I'm here to figure out how to express the reflection of my mind to you, and to reflect back your own, as well. Indeed, for someone to recognize that the reflection in which we see each other is simply a reflection of God itself.
I am I am
I am I am
I am
I am
white noise
emptiness
void
