The
first read of anything worth understanding is incredibly confusing. Like
listening to an audio book in a language that you haven’t learnt. Nothing sinks
in. But not nothing. Surrounding yourself in something you don’t understand is exactly
what you did for the first few years of your life. We all did. We soaked in
different worlds which is why we see alternative realities. But we were all
wide eyed and confused. Gradually picking up cues as to what is funny.
Reflecting emotions. Recognising patterns. Words that get repeated. Words
connected to things we like. Things we don’t like. The power of words. The real
power of sentences. The super-power of whole conversations that can be summarised
in a knowing look. Whole conversations that can be connected. Anything worth
understanding is worth relaxing into the confusion for. We over value people
being “naturals”. We over value finding things easy. The good stuff needs you
to do the deep work. Doing the deep work needs you to relax.
Words connected to things we like
