Six thousand words; millennium of Sixes!



Backstory

My 1,000th six!! I only joined the SmithMag community in November, 2012. I've averaged 6 or 7 sixes a day.

More importantly, I've really enjoyed the writing and the thinking that inspired it. Thanks to this whole community for all the interaction, feedback and inspiration. Some sharp cats and birds here (pardon my old school, intercultural slang). What a lovely addiction sixing is!

Woot! Woot!. It's a fun addiction - non-fattening, no-inebriating - with no physical side effects:-) ... so far.

illuminatrix says,

And lots of positive mental consequences. I consider nearly every six to be an embryo of an essay, an article or a story.

Great job with the 1000. Do you have a favorite?

illuminatrix says,

Thanks!
@Steve, a tall order, good sir! I went clicking through a big chunk of pages from newest to oldest and I chose a few that approach membership in the favorites club. Of course, they're all 'favorites' for different reasons I suppose.

Synthesize old models, crystallize new metaphors.

Primates primarily, Artists secondarily, Shamans fundamentally.

Meditating momentarily in hibernatory musical repose.

Load words. Click hammer. Aim. Fire.

Flexible perspectives fit more world in. 

And maybe:
In prism for Illicit Light Refraction. (Although punnists--those prejudiced against puns--won't approve, I was pretty pleased with it.
