Memory Web

I've been questioned for why I waste a good walk with thinking.   I guess some folks clear their minds and it becomes meditation.   I'd be worried if I cleared my mind I wouldn't find my way home.   Caring Kim would be worried about the dogs.   Anyway, I love the time to think without interruption.

I easily forget half of my aha's on the road.    It used to bother me until I was reminded that I easily have forgotten half of everything I think about.  

I have contemplated strategies or tried a few ideas to bring my thoughts from the road to the computer.   For a while I tried to write everything down as soon as I got home.    That became a job.   I thought about bringing a mini-recorder but I would either lose it or lose a dog.   Now I just jot down a few words on a scrap of paper whenever the memory flashes.

Actually, I like the process of writing the blog in my head, editing as I walk and then leaving it on the road.    My ideas are all out there suspended above the gravel like a spider web.   When I walk through them the thoughts will return.
