I described a visual that had recently come to mind for me, and I then, as a followup to that visual, I added a few ideas as single words. (I’m very intentionally, not being specific here…) When I finished—it all took but a few moments—it struck me… Dude, those single words really are the ideas I want to convey… But that imagery? It’s _exactly_ the opposite of those ideas. That visual is a terrible idea… Let’s set aside the confusion I may have caused to my friend. (Although, I did point out that I saw the contradiction.) It seems to me it’s really rare to have a moment of such clarity around something important: If I hadn’t been explaining it to another person, I might have hung onto that visual imagery. Where are you hanging on to the wrong details? ɕ
