  • (also needs a better name)
  • How can you simultaneously fully act into the present moment, while also preparing for the future?
  • Themes that connect with this:
    • The Bell and the Blackbird - a poem by David Whyte about a celtic fable
      • Celtic fable of a monk with a bell and a blackbird, then a poem about this
        • Relates to post-fixing, and the paradox of preparing for your life vs living your life
          • ~"You don't get to choose. You always need to practice, and you always have to meet the world where it finds you, just as you are."
    • maybe the thing where a doctor's work is called their practice
    • developmental view vs fruitional view
