People. They are incredible. The most potent changes experienced are administered in the form of people. I have met a few who have affected change. I offer the last 30 days as proof. And so, after much thought, 10,000 hours found their way into my head. After an hour's worth of conversation, I have new challenge. My brain works in odd ways I still don't understand but once it catches something, it goes, propelled inexhaustibly forward by some magic my conscious self is unaware of. So now I'm going and we'll see where it leads in the end. In the meantime, I'll stop with the logic and read the page as I feel it, wherever it takes me, without trying to understand it. Then after awhile, I'll look at my findings and logic can tell me what I discovered. This is for you two who were there that night when something inside me clicked into place. I dedicate this to you, 10,000 hours from now.
