My time on the bus to and from work seems to be some of my more thought provoking and intellectual times of the day.  I seem to think about life, poverty, justice, God, friends, news, and general social actions all in this short amount of time.  But then I get off and I hustle up the stairs from the bus tunnel and it seems I lose my ability to have concise clear thoughts for a stretch of time. Its rather frustrating really.  Maybe its the busyness of the day and the distractions of how I want to be perceived or whats on ESPN.   This has been a theme that last couple years;  my time in my car, or transportation in general I seem more capable of engaging with my conscious.  The frustration is that I seem to forget these things rather quickly and it almost seems like with no follow-up on these ideas in my times of commute, that I’m missing out on something.  So…I have a plan.  I now carry a small notebook everywhere I go, and am now going to write down these thoughts, and process them here in this space.  I can’t promise it will be good. Part of this experiment is to even see if I can express myself written form in a clear and concise matter. I have a feeling it could just be me babbling.  

I’m curious…

How do you express your inner thoughts?  Do you journal? Do you have a metaphorical organization system in your brain where you can open the “work” file cabinet or the “relationship” drawer?  How do you process your thoughts?
