My daughter is ADHD in many ways and time has always been an issue for her. Once my wife and I worked out what my daughter’s words “it isn’t now yet” meant, it made everyone life so much easier. We could work with that.

I aint got no attention deficit disorder, it's an attention excess, but yeah, it is often disordered. Seriously though, I am an incredibly observant person, but that might just come from decades of meditation.

Persistence is one of my more dominate traits although I tend to take a very, very long time to get anything done. Sometimes I think it is because I tend to see everything as a process. Nothing really has a beginning or an end. I'll blame physics and philosophy for that...and maybe Jesus...it was that "heaven is within" thing that served as a koan for me. There is always more than meets the eyes, but that third eye of contemplation has a strange ability to reveal what our two physical eyes cannot perceive.

I read some Voltaire as an adolescent and it left quite the impression that remains stamped upon my soul today. Here is a Voltaire quote that has inspired me for about 45 years now..."No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking".

That was the quote that has inspired me to create https://www.integrativeactivism.com and its companion site, https://liberalcourage.com. Oh dear, looks like a problem with integrative activism. I've had nothing but trouble with the web design company I hired to do that, but I digress.

Here's a quote by Albert Einstein, "I'm not really that much smarter than other people, it's just that I stick with a problem longer than most people". Okay, that's not an exact quote, but it's close. Anyway, I have spent about 20 years to get integrative activism up and running. It still needs a hell of a lot of work. I'm just one guy who has hovered around the poverty line all my life and I hate desk work. I like working with my hands and body often in high risk activities.

So, to pull a few things together...Part of what I'm trying to do is to focus and coordinate people on a plan to amend the US Constitution with the date July 4, 2026 in mind. You can see how I've laid it out..https://www.integrativeactivism.com/7-4-2026/

Goals need a specific achievement date, yes? Or at least they are aided by such, no?

Well, it's that time...oh, I'm behind schedule to walk some dogs. Maybe after that I'll try Thom's exercise
