Your promiscuous thinking and multi-storied lifestyle has always been one of the things I've admired about you. Maybe because I experience a similar penchant and have you, my senior, to show me what a life following multiple prompts can look like.
That second quote from Rogers' book is a striking capture of this sentiment. In high school I described it as "the tumbling motion of life" and I feel like I'm still living that way. Whenever my tumble gets lodged someplace I fear I've lost some powerful momentum, so I have to give it a good kick and send it flying again. I wonder if there will come a time when I won't do this.
Thank you for the kind words. I can't *really* complain too much. My life is a delightful ramble for the most part. The closest people like us may come to intellectual stability is working on a hard, long-term project. And when it ends, liberation again!
This idea of living life free from having to interrupt thinking and writing about thinking to eat, take care of others’ needs, to have the self-control to focus on one thing for a long period, I think the last time I had this luxury was for a couple of years as a teen, but then that’s only because I was the depressed teen that skipped school and did other stuff popular in the 70’s.

I reckon very few people actually have both all-around well-being and a life free just to think.

Inveterate Curiositor, I hope you never stop flinging your imagination into parts unknown.
The challenge is finding time for it all!
