Capturing thoughts

Like an aroma that casually drifts away, our thoughts can easily elude us.

But we can capture thoughts!

Fleeting and often loosely formed, we can still hold thoughts long enough to memorialize them on paper or in a digital record.

Of course, the best thoughts will try to reassure us, insisting, “You’ll remember me (I’m that good). No need to put pen to paper.”

But they lie.

Put pen to paper.

Every day, the universe presents us with messages, lessons, and opportunities. The best way to honor this generosity is to humbly collect these gifts. Whether they prompt action or sharing — or nothing in particular — step one is to collect.
