This thread is created in an attempt to offer contemplative words in order to help elicit FOCUS and EXPANSION of thinking.
When younger I had been given "Angel Cards." Large fortune cookie fortune sized cards that each had one word written on them. They would be face down in a basket, you would pick one up with NON INTENT and that would be your "word" for the day. Something to help focus and deepen one's understand by thinking of all aspects of the word and how it can be applied to your life.
The card that sticks out the most for me was OBEDIENCE. The reason being I'm not at all obedient by nature. However there are two sides to everything and things should be looked at dialectically. Where there is a benefit, there is a detriment owing to the two extremes of polarity that is the Universe.
The first word to start us off is ADAPTATION.
If you don't like this thread, please shit somewhere else because I'm not in any way going to tolerate fuckery here.
Thank you and best regards from the Ozarks. NM

Adaptation
In biology, adaptation has three related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each individual organism, that is maintained and has been evolved by natural selection.
Organisms face a succession of environmental challenges as they grow, and show adaptive plasticity as traits develop in response to the imposed conditions. This gives them resilience to varying environments.
