We live busy lives. No time to stop. No time to think. We
are often told we should meditate, though this is not-thinking. Thinking is
seen as an effort or a burden.
But thinking is a necessary part of a healthy life. We stop,
pull back, see the bigger picture and our place in it and to move ahead with
purpose. Thinking precedes the creative act and informs intuition. Thinking
stimulates the process of problem solving. Many great minds took nature walks—spatsieren
gehen—just to think through difficult problems.
History demonstrates that thinking and the doing that follows
are often acts courage. To think vigorously about a big world filled with
beauty, complexity, horror, grandeur and spirit is an adventure open to everyone.
Think.
