Reading that made me realise how much I needed it. If only there were a thousand more responses like it.

I wonder what is the history of this little slice of building. Seen on my little walk into Long Melford.

#3GoodThings

• day is done
• tax accounts done but not filed
• no one is chasing me for anything right at this particular moment

hard.

Some mantras for modern life:

• Perhaps I was wrong.
• My expertise does not grant me superiority.
• Allow boredom: it might lead to creativity.
• My ignorance is just learning that hasn’t happened yet.

@bmacDonald94 Thanks. I was just playing with it.

@bmacDonald94 In that case, the man is forever stepping in the same river, frozen in his moment of being, as the infinitely many different iterations of himself, and the river, stretch out before and behind them.

@inthehands @OctaviaConAmore @helplessduck I wish I had! BMus (cello performance) MMus (cello/conducting). They tried to tempt me to a PhD but I finally saw sense.

@inthehands @OctaviaConAmore @helplessduck I have serious amounts of baggage in this area. My training toxified the idea of audience by demanding that I aim for perfection, and so imagine the listener as a critic with the perfect ear who will know if I fall short of perfect. I’ve spent many years trying to disempower my hyper-criticism; it’s only lately that I find I can play to a real audience, whose opinions I believe and trust. Rather than failing at the impossible, again.

Imagining a real human being as my ideal audience sort of crowds out the hyper-critical one, I find. Or at least gives me an alternative to play to. Little steps.
