2021/8/23 #poetry This time I'll do it. Really, no false starts, no backpedaling, and no rationalizing about why I didn't act after the fact. I'll just do it. Ok, I'm going to digress here and go off on a tangent. There is a brand that I'm sure your familiar with that has capitalized that last phrase that I used. They use it as both as an advertising slogan and in their logos and have even made it a product all on its own. It is a very powerful mantra and really gets to the heart of a big part of the human experience so I see why they would run with it after discovering it but I resent that they are squatting on it and holding this mental real estate with so many people and deeply linking this amazing mantra with capitalism. It's a darn shame it is. Idioms shouldn't get to have trademarks. But despite all that, just do it I will. I may have fear, I may feel unsure, but I will proceed regardless. The only thing that has stopped me before was uncertainty but I will begin this time knowing that completing my part will be a foregone conclusion, irrespective of the final outcome. I will reach with my mind into the future and see quite clearly that if I don't act this time, I will have to confront the same situation again and again until I do. That therefore if I do delay the inevitable it is only to my detriment because I can not avoid it entirely. Eventually I must and that kairos is today.
