chalkboards and ladders.

i'm in the office now. there's nothing like writing on a chalkboard. it has the right sort of unfinished quality to it, but unlike waste paper, it captures some sort of care and attention.

i'm checking some details, now. i've had this idea for a little while -- two months, perhaps -- and it's about time that i check it and study its weaknesses.

an idea can make you powerful, because it can give you hope, and direction too. nonetheless, an idea is a fixed thing in time and memory: the point is to form new ideas from old. an idea should only be a step on a ladder. one should learn whether or not the ladder points somewhere, and if so, whether or not the ladder is tall enough.
