February 11, 2026. Ordered in Chinese food. Been doing a lot of thinking and feeling lately. I was in Phoenix this weekend. Travel logistics on the way back were terrible.
I have had some really positive conversations the last few weeks. I have also had the privilege of having some really mediocre ones. To the people I’ve talked to who have told me they read this blog:
Hello and thank you for taking the time.
This structure-less journey is quite odd. On one hand you panic from impending and imminent collapse. On the other, you marvel and luxuriate in complete freedom. In the middle is centeredness and an awareness as you see the pendulum swing from one side to the other.
It hurts too. It’s like a nausea. A freeze and an ache at the same time. You interact with people – doing what you can to forget about the nausea. A job interview, academia, engagements; friends, new friends, dear friends, old friends.
The sad part is I know I am at the center of it. It feels like a bad energy I can’t shake.
I took a break after writing that last sentence. Center, pendulum, pendulum, center.
Physics says there should be a center in between the two pendulums there. That is the odd thing. It doesn’t feel right. Curious.
That is what happens when you collate linearity with existence. Assigning a vector to an ocean. Singularity with absurdity.
I am enjoying this process.
Warmly,
David
