As part of my minimalism kick, over the last year or so I have been going through what few mementos I still had. Most of my keepsakes burned up in a storage unit fire in the year 1999 – lost everything from my childhood and the military and family (very liberating in a way). But I still had stuff that I carried with me.
It comes from the fact, in western (European) cultures and mythology primarily, that a silver bullet is the one thing needed to kill supernatural creatures, mainly werewolves. From that it grew into a way of speaking about a simple solution to difficult or intractable problems. E.g. “I may have a silver bullet for this problem.”
Although I understand and really identify with the idea of a tribe … I remember from a podcast somebody, I believe Seth Godin, talking about finding the smallest number of people that you can have a positive impact on. I have yet to find that tribe, although I have a good idea of where to start looking.
I feel I’m not ready to blog (and I’m sure I’m not alone) … but as I heard somewhere … the best way to done is through begin.
