With Think This Today I share one thought each day. In doing so my experience of the passage of time has intensified. No matter what my effort, failure or success, the next day is quickly upon me. Those things I say and do recede swiftly with the challenge of examining a fresh idea so frequently.
What I do/not over time makes me different.
In my experience around one person in half a million thanks the originator of something that is offered without cost. I base this on observations of tens of millions of users to my websites over a twenty year period who have enjoyed free software, music, images and words.
Online behaviour is a more truthful indicator of human conduct as compared with the way people say they act in the presence of others. As you browse today, be rare, be one in half a million.
I work on words that accompany an artwork and struggle with the smallest change that makes a world of difference to their meaning. My challenge is to marry image and text to form a whole.
I try to shape the words to appear at first as explanation, then more richly to move freely between elucidation and metaphor. I listen more when what is said makes me feel as well as think.
One word can make all the difference: the force of art upon me. The force of heart upon me.
William Shakespeare
