Circling The Big Domino
Seth makes points that I agree with in his post ‘Circling the Big Domino‘ Now I may agree with them because I don’t have a choice. The “big one” hasn’t yet hit The Flying Change and so it’s not really up to me. But on other other hand, it does feel like the right Zen/Buddha thing to do which is focus on what you can achieve and leave the rest out of your head and accept what you can do and focus your power on a very small point and then slowly grow the circumference of that sphere until its white hot. Also, don’t divide your forces, except if you’re Jackson and you’re up against Hooker and it’s Chancellorsville which is another way of saying, “Just be right” but mostly it’s about working what you can work and getting the reviews and the shows that you can and make the connections and let the flame become a blaze and if it doesn’t at least let it become a nice sized fire and think about the work that you create over the longer term and don’t focus on, to use a crude image, blowing your wad all at once.
But if you line up all the dominos one by one, in the right order, you may just have enough energy to push over the first one. That one, of course, adds momentum so that when you crash into the second one, that one goes too. All the way to the Queen.
If you can do a good thing more than once than you should be doing it and if you can’t than you never really had a chance to begin with.
And the beat goes on.
