Today...

After-action reflection means learning something everyday, but not all learning is noteworthy on short timescales. Perspective is important and time offers better perspectives.

 

Looking back at my day I find my emotionality an issue: part of that is fatigue and part is the nature of the work and part is that all those who interact with us do so with imperfect and incomplete information. Life is complex.

 

Many profound truths sound asinine stated baldly: they are too obvious. They get their meaning, their depth and breadth from the hearer’s interpretation: the mouths of babes yield only the words of babes; no more. Meaning is tenuous and personal.

 

And generosity is always welcome; as is compassion.
