As I slice through the pool, my thoughts pass through a mental sieve. With each movement of my arms and shoulders, the mesh of the sieve grows finer, catching the essential nutrient-rich fruit to make my juice.

Compare this to the stagnant, solitary contemplation of sitting at a desk, attempting to decide without the benefit of cleansing, clarifying motion.

Why make deciding and thinking harder by sitting and being alone?

When movements and others offer the world both historical and new?

We are social creatures made more intelligent by engaging with others.

So, I ask again…consider the shortcomings of your unfiltered, solo musings.

Then consider what fellow swimmers might know.

Consider moving.

Consider asking.
