let the words flow let the words come and go let's see how many letters we can type in one session how many words can be arranged in succession how many phrases can be persuasive how many lingering thoughts are left after dissemination after defecation after the output of the magistrate out into the nation phrases of persuasian from hermits avoiding conflagration it's difficult to always direct your intent towards something but that's what we do we focus on things we take aim and think w're aiming at something, at least we believe we are focused, because we had, at some point, chosen to focus but as soon as you focus, or have focused, are you still focused? how long does it take before you are unfocused? do you know how to chnage your focus from unfocus to foucs or from focus to unfocus that might be easy but when you lose your focus are you choosing unfocus or other focus or are you just letting go? and if you ever completely let go might you simply just have a focus borne of not having to try and focus? is that what some of us yearn for? to just have the focus be automatic, so we can operate at a higher level? is that a human emotion or need? is that transcendance? what is it specifically that would make one do this, especially if there's a case to be made that it's not the most fruitful way to be well, I suppose that depends on how you are evaluating but if we are to focus on this world and not believe that there could be some sort of preparation for another world or a higher level of the same world we currently inhabity inhabit but if we just inhabit this one and try to think how we could be arranging and coposing ourselves training ourselves refining our skill all with the intent, at least as inferred by the manner in which we live and act and do things but with the intent of being able to do everything automatically or at least intuitively so that we needn't be so explicit in our direction allowing ourselves to second guess ourselves to get in our own way it's only when you let go completely that you aren't in your way sometimes you let go in order to commit and sometimes you let go t just let go and see where the chips fall is that a paradox? is that something to ber esolved? or are they different enough such that we don't think of them as a conflict there is a need or drive to let go and we can't always let go because we are busy trying to understand what needs to bef ocused on and what does not so when do we let go? when we sleep? when we dream? and is letting go a form of focus? it would seem that we are always struggling towards something, it ight just be the breathe, or it might be something less concrete and realizable or identifiable but we struggle to go towards something, with our incessant behaviour our neediness and our cultivation of bad habits our proclaiming of the things that we need to be doing and then the celebration of not doing them is this part of the movement towards our goal? or is it simply a learned unproductive habit? what is the ideal way to move towards a goal? with intuitive such that we can direct our focus to make the travel that much better that much more inspiring that much more strongly expressed that much more carefully demonstrated what is the manner in which we best move towards a goal by carefully lining up every segment to be devoured? or to just dive into the deep and let go and have a ealthy mindset and positive attitude an understanding that even if what seems like the words could happen exit
