Reflections on the Title of my Blog

I toyed with renaming my new blog. Then my dad pointed out that one's thoughts and musings are much like little matryoshkas, nested one inside another. How true, I thought. You "open" one thought to explore it, another presents itself. You "open" that thought and then another one is there perhaps a bit smaller and more focused. Eventually you get to a sharply focused thought, and think "Aha! Revolutionary! Why did I not see it this clearly before?!"

But then! Then, when you finally sit down at the computer to blog about your revolutionary, insightful thought, it vanishes inside the bigger and bigger thoughts until that small, focused, beautiful thought is hidden; and then, much like the littlest matryoshka hidden inside all of the bigger ones, the details of your eureka moment become vague in your memory.

But it IS still there waiting for you to open it up again when you aren't sitting in front of the computer. Strange how the computer does that to a thought. But perhaps then, upon revisiting it, the details will etch themselves in your memory a little more until eventually you can paint a lovely word picture of your thought without having to "see" it because you will come to "feel" it instead.

So, I decided to stick with my blog name.
