little and often

. . . the way to change a hard to change habit, by making a new habit. Start out easily and let it grow, pressureless.

I used to love guitar music of the early-mid 90s, lyrics too, the whole made me think. Now I listen to so much electronic music and I really miss words from another conception in correspondence with mine.

Here's a definition I read recently and liked (I should say that I am failessly impressed whenever I stumble accross a word to sum up an entire concept):

Connexion
Treating the facts of history systematically, in their connection with each other as cause and effect, and with reference to their practical lessons rather than to their circumstantial details.

Something I think we could benefit from keeping somewhere quite prevalent in the frontal lobes in reference to our personal histories as well as collective histories.

The place I read this was a collection of notes for a course I'm taking and it didn't give a citation. Damn, I'd like to read more.
