**Writing** is a mechanical process, and by practicing daily mechanical maintenance, i.e. writing, I’m inherently increasing my capacity to perform. I’m building skill through action.

Now, compare and contrast that to **Curiosity**.

Not simply a a mechanical process; I can’t sit in a empty room every day and self-declare that I’m curious. 🧐 I guess I could but … we know it doesn’t work that way.

I keep learning because I want to (aka staying curious). It’s not effortful for me; it’s kinda like the point of things; to learn new things and maximize my experience of the world.

Intellectually, I know I’ll never be able to fully experience *consciousness* in-our -limited-time-here because there’s too much of it to experience in a mere human-lifetime.

This is a constraint for everyone.

So it remains in my power to widen the gap between today and then.

If I stay curious with a *mechanical* daily writing practice, I keep learning. If I’m learning this, then I’m excited to share that and then I learn more and then …

Even sharing this reflection with you feels rather profound for me as I’m realizing this.

Maybe it will resonate with some of you.

Smoochy face XOXO.
