a few days ago I arrived at something… “curiosity in action.”

and then fahri shares a note about Punchdrunk… the immersive theater company. you walk into a dark building, no one tells you where to go. you choose which room, which character to follow. you make your own story.

kendi açılarımdan seyrettiğim bir tiyatro… seyirci olmak yerine şahit oluyorsun.

the verb state of curiosity is not easy… may become past tense in chaos, or, if you’re lucky, present tense in wonder. still, worth it.

a few years ago I was trying to build my personal website around the concept of “from expectation to exception”… transitioning from a state of expectation to a state that creates exceptions… sometimes beautiful ones, but most often disappointments, to self.

now I see what was missing… the fuel, the energy source. curiosity in action. curiosity as a verb.

David (David Henzel, https://henzel.com/) introduced me to the notion of personal core values, mission, vision etc, 10 years ago… and since then i had many variations of them, and with each iteration/change i got even more excited about the idea of having connected core values written… sometimes they reflected my ideals but sometimes they reflected the current state…

now, after ten years, finally i have something both the ideal and the current… something that i wish i had all the way back in my life, happy to have it today, and excited to be having it in the future: “Curiosity in action”…

wonder, question, curiosity… fueling the action itself… then fueling the curiosity itself…

Clarity may not be the goal but a tool only… Such as the creativity, too. Not sure if both can be used at the same time though. When you have clarity, you lack creativity, and vice versa.

Not sure if it’s clarity versus creativity… Maybe it’s about the ratio..

This is it, I guess. One of the foundational pillars of me, myself… As a goal, an identity, an idea, a vision…

This came to me when I was sharing my feedback and thoughts to my friend, Fahri. He has this amazing sentence on his new website’s home page (not public yet), which gave me the goose bumps…
