Thought articulation

 Thought articulation


“The thought process is never complete without articulation.”


As I go through my day, I have a lot of fleeting thoughts. Before, I used to try to simply remember them, but I quickly realized that my recall percentage was insufficient. I would have so many great thoughts throughout the day, but none would render anything because they were never captured.


Then I changed.


Now, I make a conscious effort to articulate all of my thoughts, even if I don’t think they are worth sharing. By putting thoughts down, I am able to track progress. I can literally see my growth in front of me. Trying to calculate growth by how I feel is no longer a thing. Tracking thoughts allows you to see the growth for yourself.


Most people simply disregard the things that come to their head. The only time they put something down is when they think it’s really good. Even then though, that idea is most likely ditched in the future because it “wasn’t good enough.”


If you are looking to close some circles, you need to articulate what goes on in your mind.


The more I write down, the more I have to choose from. Those ideas breed more ideas. A root system soon forms and the growth becomes exponential.


Imagine each thought you have as a seed. Every time you articulate a thought, you are planting a seed. If you only plant one seed, you will not have an ample crop. You will be unfulfilled because you only planted one seed and expected to flourish. Now, if you plant a million seeds, think about how big your crop will be. Yes, some seeds won’t bloom, but you drastically increase the chances of having a prolific crop.


These seeds you plant will lead to something. Just like plants, everything takes time to bloom. But it will never bloom if you don’t plant the seed.


Plant the seeds.


No matter what the thought is, don’t let it slip.


Articulate your thoughts.

  As if they’d never end I can feel the end begin Just as it did before I walked out, shut the door Won’t step foot there anymore Flashbacking, backtracking To warm water splashing As the sand swirls And I hold you close to me Because I know it makes you feel Like it makes me feel Now it’s realer And faces once familiar Have become distant characters In our memories of yesterday Where was I? Did I find what I tried to find? Because in some ways I feel blind To the thoughts of my younger mind Somewhere in the meantime I got caught up in this screen time Lost the deeper meaning Just following the street signs

  “You coming or what!?” My sunburnt eyelids slowly opened to the same bright sun as always. Half my body hung over the side of the bus stop bench. I still felt hazy from last night’s fix. “Dude, I’m doing you a favor here!” I looked up to be blinded by a bright red car holding up traffic at the intersection. Horns were blaring behind him as he scolded me from the car. It seemed like the horns didn’t even bother him as he sat back in his seat with his head nearly touching the roof and his eyes stuck on the dirty windshield in front of him. Confused as to what was happening, I got up and cleared the dust from my eyes. I grabbed my bag and made my way over to the dented passenger side door of that red car. He rolled the window up and let out a deep sigh as I approached.  “It’s Sam, how ya doin?” “Hey I’m M-” “It’s not short for anything either, it’s just Sam. What you feelin man?” “I’m, uh, I’m pretty, uhhh-” “Music, man, music!” He slammed his hand on the steering wheel. “What ...

Sometimes I still feel like Mentally I am here Sailing to shore with the wake Maybe I wish I was Maybe it’s just my way To escape Whatever it is- Who cares? Because when there are waves I don’t even notice Because the sun shines Bright, where the trees break And the waves are no longer danger Instead they fade into The sounds of the lake Superior to be 19, Grand Marais 20 whatever I feel it everyday Seagulls squawk But to me they say Happy birthday Even though it’s just another Ordinary day Though a sky like this Doesn’t just make for another day … When life was a mess I never even prayed When I had no faith You still showed your face And I still think about it Every single day.
