Power, effort a ‘personal thing’ for Bam Adebayo By Anthony Crawford sports@kykernel.com
When taking into account his 6’10” 260-pound frame, it seems that good genetics was all Edrice “Bam” Adebayo needed to live up to his nickname, but setting aside his NBA-ready body, his relentless play-style has been just as convincing he’s worthy of the nickname. The phrase was coined when Adebayo was younger and was watching “The Flintstones” with his mother, Mariyln Blount. The destructive nature of Bam Bam Rubble from the show inspired Adebayo to flip a coffee table in the family’s house and name stuck ever since. So that explains how it started but when trying to find why exactly the biggest and, at times, the most talented player to step on the court in Adebayo also plays with the most effort and hustle, then look no further than the most influential person in his life, his mother. “It came from my mom’s struggle. It’s a personal thing for me. It’s not, I just do it because they want me to do it,”Adebayo said. “It’s more so a personal thing because if you’re a male around our age, you don’t want to see your mom struggle. I don’t ever want to see my mom struggle any more.” The biggest thing that stands out when watching Adebayo play is how each play seems to be a do-or-die situation, there’s never a time you won’t find him giving 100-percent effort. Because of that, Adebayo will largely remind fans of former Cats Anthony Davis and Julius Randle in his ability to run the floor and crash the glass. “I’m trying to do everything: block shots, rebound, play defense,” Adebayo said. “And then on the offensive side: score, catch lobs. Everything that people want to do to get to the next level.”

But where Adebayo sets himself apart is that his game will revolve a lot more around his power and strength rather than him being able to show off finesse and skill. Adebayo has already been called a “beast” by John Calipari and some of his new UK teammates and he has earned it by showing prior to arriving on campus that he can dominate the inside with physical play, which is something that UK sorely missed last season. But while everybody gives credit to his hustle and strength, there’s still skill to be tapped into with Adebayo. “Bam’s a beast just like everybody thinks,” freshman point guard De’Aaron Fox said. “He’s a monster, but I feel like his skill is very underrated.” Unlike the aforementioned Davis and another recent Cats’ big turned NBA star Karl An-
thony-Towns, Adebayo doesn’t enter UK with a polished perimeter game. While Calipari and assistant coach Kenny Payne had to push Davis and Towns inside to bang down low, they will working with Adebayo to take his game outside the paint. Besides already having down the obvious skills of pursuing offensive rebounds and finishing strong at the rim, Adebayo showed a budding midrange game in high school as well as a slight ability to put the ball on the floor. If Adebayo can add a faceup game to his already overwhelming power and hustle, then he and UK are one step closer to obtaining their goals. “I’m just expecting me to be the best big man I can be for this team and then making this run for a national title,” Adebayo said.

Malik Monk bringing confidence, athleticism to UK
UK’S top nonconference games The Cats will be celebrating the holidays in the Bahamas as they face off against Arizona State in the Atlantis Showcase. UK cruised to an easy 72-58 victory over the Sun Devils last year, but entering his second season with the team, head coach Bobby Hurley should have the team ready to make it a more competitive game this time around. The neutral site game should prove to a be a decent challenge for the young Cats. It should also be a fun experience for the lucky fans who get to go.
For one night the state of Kentucky is at the center of the college basketball world when these in-state rivals me et up and UK and UofL hardly ever disappoint when they are on that stage. Louisville is coming off a scandal filled year that ended with a post-season ban and a win over a high ranked Cats team could be the best thing to show the country that the Cards are back. This matchup will feature some of the best athletes in college basketball on both sides and should be a fast paced affair.
After losing to the Bruins in 2015, in Los Angeles, Cats will host the Bruins in Lexington for the first time since 1961. The Bruins will have a very talented roster in 201617, but it is pretty much unknown what their identity or ability will be until the weeks leading up to the game. The game will be UK’s first game after the team’s trip to the Bahamas just five days prior.

By Chris Angolia sports@kykernel.com
When people think of UK guards, one thing that usually comes to mind is physicality and athleticism, and coach John Calipari looks to have another one of his prototypical guards in the form of 6’3” Malik Monk. Monk, an Arkansas native, has drawn numerous comparisons to the likes of Oklahoma City Thunder point guard Russell Westbrook because of his explosive style of play, something that the Cats did not exactly have last year. The athleticism that Monk brings to the table, can very easily be attributed to his family background which includes numerous athletes. Monk’s brother, Marcus spent time in the NFL as a wide receiver after playing both football and basketball at Arkansas, and his cousin and uncle also played division one sports With Monk being a critical piece in the UK backcourt in 2016, it is the overall balance of his game that demands attention. And that balance was put on display at the McDonald’s All-American game where winning the three-point contest and finishing second in the dunk contest. After racking up all of these accolades and comparisons over his final year in high school, Monk brings another dimension to his game, and that is the confidence that he has in both himself and his teammates, especially fellow guards, De’aaron Fox and Isaiah Briscoe. “I think I can fit well, because I am more of a scorer than both of them. I shoot more then both of them too, so we will all fit in very well
with each other,” Monk said of the trio. The UK backcourt is something that has brought a lot of hype with it especially during the summer sessions and early scrimmages. The hype that has been brought can be looked at mainly in part due to the group’s versatility, and Monk looks to be the most versatile of the three guards. With the comparisons to Westbrook and other swiss-army knife guards, it would have been very easy for Monk to struggle early on in camp, but things have pointed in the opposite and even Evan Daniels of Scout. com has seen what Monk has been able to do so far. “Word out of Kentucky is that freshman Malik Monk is surpassing expectation early on. Shooting ball better than in high school,” Daniels tweeted. If Monk is able to consistently hit his jump shots, he would be true to his word when talking about how he is more of a scoring guard compared to Fox and Briscoe. Although it sounds as if that would be a bad thing for the Cats, it will always be nice for a team with a ton of talent like UK does this year to have a guy like Monk who talked about being the team’s primary scorer especially in crunch time. “I mean if it comes down to it yeah, I think so,” Monk said about being the primary scorer. “I can (take a shot in crunch-time), I think that will be me.” Having a guy with the confidence of Monk will be just another added dimension of this year’s squad and that dimension could prove to be crucial to the team’s success come March.
The Cats will be taking a trip to Madison Square Garden for the annual Champions Classic which is always considered the first real test for the team. In last years Classic, the Cats took down arch-rival Duke, but now they will have to contend with another team by a Hall of Fame coach, this time it is Tom Izzo. Although this Spartan team may not have the clear veteran leader like they have had in past years with Denzel Valentine, Izzo was able to reel in top recruit Miles Bridges. As usual this will be a game that Cats fans are going to pay a lot of attention to being that it is the first time UK will be playing a big time opponent all year.
The Cats will have a chance to avenge the hardfought loss they had handed to them by the Jayhawks in Lawrence, Kansas last year as they face the fellow blue-blood in Rupp Arena this year. The game will pit UK’s young backcourt of Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox against a veteran one in Devonte’ Graham and Frank Mason III. And unlike in most matchups the team encounter this season, it will be Kansas instead of UK who has the best player on the court with the No. 2 recruit in the nation Josh Jackson.
Coming off of their national championship loss to Kris Jenkins and Villanova, the Tar Heels return six players that contributed to their success. This is perhaps one of the most difficult games for the Cats in 2016-17 based on how the Heels matchup with UK. The game is part of the CBS Sports Classic in which the Cats were upset by Ohio State last year, but this year they have a tougher task in front of them in the form of the runner-ups from a year ago.
Madness kicks off a new season By Chase Campbell sports@kykernel.com
This Friday, the restless anticipation for the upcoming basketball season will come to an end inside Rupp Arena, where the UK basketball teams will take to both the court, and the stage for Big Blue Madness. Since 1982 in Memorial Coliseum, the men’s basketball team has held the time-honored tradition of Big Blue Madness, the first open practice for the upcom-
ing season. UK was the first school in the nation to hold a formal entertainment event for the first practice of the men’s basketball season, and since Joe B. Hall’s time as head coach, the lights show has only gotten bigger, as well as making it a joint practice with the women’s team. The stage, now in Rupp Arena, in downtown Lexington, has seen future NBA All-Stars, NCAA Champions, and in 2014, even musical performer Drake. It’s where the beloved “John Wall”
“It’s where the beloved ‘John Wall’ dance gained traction, and it’s where women’s coach Matthew Mitchell never fails to draw many laughs from the 20,000 fans packing Rupp Arena every year.” dance gained traction, and it’s where women’s coach Matthew Mitchell never fails to draw many laughs from the 20,000 fans packing Rupp
Arena every year. The event features all the players from both the men’s and women’s teams, as well as speeches by both Mitchell
and John Calipari. Per usual, the coveted tickets for the event are all sold out, and Calipari’s new high-value recruits will get their first taste of a thundering crowd, chanting for the blue and white on their jerseys. Freshmen like Malik Monk and Edrice “Bam” Adebayo will be unveiled for the first time as Kentucky teammates, and the expectations for the rest of the season will become apparent as they step out onto the stage.
Dedicated fans spent over a week camping outside Memorial Coliseum for a place in line to obtain tickets, and the basketball showcase by the winningest college basketball program in the nation has yet to disappoint. The event will be held at 7 p.m. this Friday, Oct. 14th. Don’t worry if you couldn’t get a ticket, Madness will air live on SEC Network at that time, and will air again at 10:15 p.m, also on SEC Network.

Avoid the cough, get a shot By Naliah Spencer news@kykernel.com
To avoid coughing, sneezing and other gross flu-like symptoms, students can get flu vaccines at a discounted price through University Health Services during October. Students are able to get shots for $10, faculty for $20 and students with valid UK student insurance plans can get vaccinated for free. Only four more opportunities are left to get vaccinated at a discounted price on campus. Students can visit flu shot stations at various locations on campus Oct. 12, 18, 19 and 26. These locations include William T. Young Library, the Johnson Center and University Health Services. It is that time of the year when the weather is getting colder, midterms are getting closer and students are spreading germs like wildfire. The process at the campus flu shot stations is quick and easy. Students get in line, sign in with their student ID
cards, pay a $10 fee and get an injection. Some of the benefits of getting vaccinated are decreasing the chances of getting the flu and decreasing flu symptoms if one gets the flu. “It’s not 100 percent effective, but last year, I believe it was determined to be almost 77 percent effective.” Scott said. After the injection, the vaccine takes about two weeks to build up the body’s immunity to the flu. If one comes in contact with someone who has the flu, the vaccinated person could possibly get the flu. According to Scott, some popular myths about the vaccination are that it causes autism and that it makes people sick. It has been proven that it does not cause autism. The vaccine also does not have a live virus, therefore it cannot make people sick. The most common symptom is redness or soreness at the injection site. Vaccinated people possibly run a fever or have cold symptoms. “I always tell people just take some
Tylenol or ibuprofen and you should be fine,” UK’s Director of Nursing Mindy Scott said. She said that one in a million people have severe reactions, but these could be because of an unknown allergy. In addition to getting vaccinated at a discounted price, students also receive a goody bag from the Student Health Advisory Council. This organization hosts and volunteers at events to promote health for students on campus. On Oct. 7, at least 100 students were lined up to get shots, most of which were nursing students. Students in the College of Nursing are required to get vaccinated. Nursing students not only get shots — they administer them. Graduate level pharmacy students also administer shots. “We have our clinical in the hospital, so we’re around a bunch of sick patients, so obviously it’s a benefit,” said Lauren Riney, a nursing junior. “We don’t want to get the flu or any other type of illnesses.” Brittney Santella, a physical therapy

To inform students on what is in their food, professors in the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment will host a Q&A session on the benefits and safety of Genetically Modified Organisms. The event will take place on Monday, Oct. 17 at 7:00 p.m. in the Jacobs Science Building. The scientists answering questions will be John Vicini and Jay Petrick. Paul Vincelli, a professor of plant pathology at UK, has organized the event with the hope of allowing the communityto allow campus to have the chance to learn and ask questions about what is involved with genetically modifying food that we consume on a daily basis. “A GMO is the result of a laboratory process where genes from the DNA of one species are extracted and arti-
ficially forced into the genes of an unrelated plant or animal,” according to www.responsibletechnology.org. Vincelli provides leadership for science-based outreach on GMO crops on behalf of the College of Agriculture, Food and Environment. One of the topics he has explored rather intensely is the technological process of gene slicing. “In January 2015, I read some information that raised my concern over its safety, so I arranged for an academic seminar and a public talk by a key scientist voicing the concerns,” he said. “ As a result of that seminar and very heavy reading of scientific papers on the topic, my concerns have been generally allayed. However, as part of my personal and deep exploration into this topic, I wanted to hear Dr. Jay Petrick (one of the two guests) present his scientific data on the subject.” The evening will begin
IF YOU GO Monday, October 17, 2016, in the Jacobs Science Building at 7 p.m. with Vincelli introducing the session as well as the guest scientists. The floor will then be passed to moderator, Carl Nathe of UK Public Relations. He will state the ground rules for the session. The guest scientists will then have the opportunity to introduce themselves. This process is expected to take about five minutes. Once the formal introductions are finished, the session will begin immediately with a roaming mic on the floor for questions. The session is expected to wrap around 8:30 p.m. or until everyone has had the chance to voice their questions for the guests.

first TV series to be promoted at North Lime. The café has also released special pastries for holiday events. “One of the first ones we ever did was on the finale day of ‘Breaking Bad’,” Withers said. For the occasion the shop had a day-long celebration of the show, which was one of their busiest days yet according to Withers. She added that lots of new customers were introduced to the shop through the event. One new donut will be released for each viewing party over the next four weeks, each based on characters or overall themes of the show. This
Thursday night’s donut will be based on Barb, a character that has sparked a lot of media attention from fans. “It’s probably going to be something like orange ginger,” Withers said. She said the flavor was inspired by the character’s hair color. The donuts will be served along with an espresso bar on the back patio at North Lime. They plan on showing the first two episodes of the Netflix original on a mobile screen. Allison Avery, a junior at the University of Kentucky who has binge watched “Stranger Things”, was excited to hear about the event.
“If they just kind of play off the characters and the vibe of the show, then that would be good,” Avery said. In the coming weeks, Withers said they hope to create donuts inspired by the character Eleven, as well as life in the upside-down. Entry to the back patio viewing party is free, but the coffee and donuts are not. Dez Lynch, a donut engineer at North Lime, said to plan on coming early to ensure you get one of the limited edition treats. “Our donuts are delicious, so I think no matter what you’re going to enjoy it,” Lynch said.

Waldon finds her way from Monkeys Eyebrow By Matt Wickstrom

Whether it’s wowing the audience at a sold out show or reminiscing about her hometown of Monkeys Eyebrow, Kentucky, Kelsey Waldon is accustomed to turning heads. Waldon became involved with music at a young age. Her family had always been musically inclined, with her grandparents and many relatives on her mother’s side also being well-versed in music. At 13 her parents divorced, leading Waldon to delve more than ever into songwriting as a method of making it through the trials and tribulations of being a teenager. Upon graduating high school, Waldon moved on a whim to Nashville, working over 40 hours a week at a minimum wage job between playing gigs. Waldon eventually wound up at Belmont University where she graduated in 2013 with a degree in songwriting and music business, becoming the first in her family to graduate from college after having no plans to do so before ascending on the music city. Waldon didn’t waste any time after graduation, releasing her debut record “The Goldmine” in 2014. After the record received rave reviews, Waldon opted to hop back in the studio to record her sophomore effort “I’ve Got a Way,” which released in August. The record incorporates pop and soul influences with
Empty bowls, open hearts

Waldon’s distinctive country sound which draws heavily upon music of the 1970s such as Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, Bill Withers and others. “Some of my favorite Staple Singers and Ralph Stanley records – I drew a lot on the instrumentation of those records as far as space goes,” Waldon said. “It’s raw instrumentation, no layers. We hardly even did any overdubs on (my) latest record.” Many of the tracks off of “I’ve Got a Way” feature the twangy steel pedal guitar which meshes with Waldon’s voice, which fits the mold of Dolly Parton, one of country music’s most iconic artists. “I had a pretty strict but open-minded vision about this record,” Waldon said. “I wanted to make a really raw record with a lot of space and produce something that shows my growth and progress. Sonically we achieved all the sounds
that I wanted to get out of (the record).” Waldon will perform on Monday, Oct. 17 at the Lyric Theatre during WoodSongs Old-Time Radio Hour along with Texan K Phillips. The trip to Lexington is Waldon’s first since a gig on Aug. 21 with The Wooks at Willie’s Locally Known. Aside from music, WoodSongs is unique for also showcasing brief artist interviews and discussion between songs.
FOR MORE INFORMATION Kelsey Waldon and K Phillips take the stage for WoodSongs on Monday, Oct. 17 at 6:45 p.m. Tickets are $10 for the public and $5 for students.

Cajun eatery Bourbon n’ Toulouse, a restaurant on Euclid Ave will be filling hand-crafted ceramic bowls with their tantalizing creole creations this weekend, all for a good cause in conjunction with Kentucky Mudworks. This event has been going on annually for six years according to owner Kevin Heathcoat. The event is designed to combat starvation and the negative stigma associated with HIV and AIDS. The scope of empty bowls reaches far beyond Lexington. The empty bowl program is an international initiative to end hunger for good ranging from the United States to Canada. Although each community’s events are independent and self-developed, they all share the common goal of giving back. Empty bowls has raised millions of dollars in their attempts to fight starvation and is usually celebrated on Oct. 16 because of World Food Day. The proceeds from this event goes toward supporting Moveable Feast, which began in 1998 when an artist with aids died from starvation. This death sparked the motivation of Michael Thompson and Carol Farmer. Thompson, an avid AIDS activist and farmer then began delivering leftover food from local restaurants to people with AIDS. Since then, Moveable Feast has been delivering hot, nutritious meals to people with HIV and AIDS at no cost. The program has garnered over 200,000 dinners and almost
50,000 lunches. For $15, participants can purchase a handmade bowl, which will include a delicious entree of Cajun food. The bowls are made from Kentucky Mudworks and are donated in two parts. The first part comes from local artists who donate bowls they have created which feature their aesthetic. The second comes from clay enthusiasts who work after hours at Kentucky Mudworks to create the bowls for the event.
Each bowl is unique and no two people will have the same bowl. “The girls at Kentucky Mudworks do an amazing job, usually producing 600 to 800 bowls,” Heathcoat said. “The bowl signifies the lack of food that some people have access to not only in our town but across the country.” The event starts at 11 a.m. and will go on until 5:00 p.m. or until food runs out, which in past years has occurred around 3 p.m.

Editorial
Trump tapes prove what we already know
For any other Presidential candidate, last Friday’s audio leak would have dismantled their campaign. For Donald Trump it’s just a typical Friday. For those that have been following Trump’s comments throughout the election and even decades before, Friday’s comments are no surprise – they simply reinforce everything that he’s said and done up until now. Sadly the continued trend in Trump’s behavior means little to many, leaving our country’s morals spinning down the toilet of disrepair. Trump’s comments are disturbing and cringe-worthy on a multitude of levels. His excuse for his banter being “locker room talk” normalizes objectification of women and rape culture in our society by making it seem as though all men partake in this appalling behavior. Lets make this clear: Trump’s comments caught on tape were not just describing what he’d do if given the opportunity — they described in explicit, lewd detail acts he has committed and showed
no remorse for, then or now. Simply saying sorry and then switching the topic to ISIS when he was pressed on the tapes during last Sunday’s debate shows that Trump isn’t sincerely sorry and thinks the leak is a non-issue. Normalizing these attitudes toward women is how the Brock Turners of the world come to be. With Trump’s actions we as a country are navigating a slippery moral slope that has the potential to wipe out much of the social and civil rights progress we’ve made over the last half century. Not only are Trump’s recent comments on women scary, his divisive words regarding Mexicans, African-Americans, Muslims and many other prominent minority groups are equally as haunting. Trump’s comments diminish the accomplishments of successful women and minorities everywhere, and the fact that he’s running against a successful woman makes this train wreck even more painful to watch.
By no means is Hillary Clinton perfect, but she’s less catastrophic of a candidate than Trump. The literal backbone of Trump’s campaign is inciting hate, whether it’s referring to all Mexicans as murderers and rapists or lumping all Muslims into radical Islamic terrorism. But perhaps a new low in his campaign is using former president Bill Clinton’s alleged sexual assault victims as political pawns in an attempt to distract from his own misdeeds. Trump seems to forget which Clinton he’s running against in this campaign, but a strong hold on fact and knowledge, (among a bevy of other things) has escaped Trump this entire campaign cycle. Trump lives in his own reality where truth and fact take a back seat to what The Donald wants, which we now know is to grab women by the privates because he’s powerful and they’ll “let” him do it.

Bring back sex education
Sexual health education has been one of the most debated and divisive topics across state legislatures. Many states have failed students by enforcing abstinence-only education programs or not having any kind of sexual education to prepare them for situations they will encounter likely as early as middle school. University Health Service accommodates for some states’ ignorant choices thanks to their sexual health class, available to females before they get a Well Woman check or upon request thanks to their student health plans. The short class teaches what many public schools neglect: proper procedures for health checks in women, ways to prevent unplanned pregnancy and the transmission of STIs, and descriptions of common exams women should get to maintain healthy bodily functions. One of the great things about the class is its emphasis on STI testing, and practicing effective birth control methods. Effective birth control education and encouragement to get on one of
the many methods has been shown to reduce the number of teenage pregnancies by up to 60 percent in comparison to abstinence-only education, according to a study published at the University of Washington in 2008. While sexual health education is important for both partners, the burden often falls on women to be the responsible party. Men are not as likely to come in to learn about birth control methods, and this is due in part because they face fewer consequences from poor choices in sexual relationships. Women are more likely than men to contract infections and diseases, and treatment of them is more difficult for women. In the event of an unplanned pregnancy, women face physical consequences that effect their physical and mental health, financial stability, and, in many cases, their careers and education. The only draw-back to the class is that it is required by UHS before female students can make an appointment with a gynecologist for any reason other than urgent needs,
like fear of an infection. It is important that students have the opportunities and encouragement to learn about sexual health, but some students can suffice with just an appointment to see a gynecologist. Depending on availability, the extra requirement can add weeks in waiting, and many women would probably like to facilitate getting on birth control, and being checked for infections, cancer and other diseases much faster. In addition, gynecologists are capable of giving their patients the same resources and understanding of proper sexual health, so a middleman is not always necessary for people interested in a check-up with a doctor. Effective sexual health education is a necessity, and it’s important that our university extend the resource to students in whatever way they’ll receive it, whether it is a short optional class, during an appointment with a doctor, or even through outreach of student groups on campus.

Inquire within for clearer goals OLIVIA JONES KERNEL COLUMNIST
In the shallowest and simplest of scenarios, this everyday struggle can be seen as we call out one another’s indecisiveness. For example, it’s seen when we allow a one-minute pause after the burrito master asks, “Guac’s extra. Is that okay?” when a quick two-second “yes” or “no” response would have sufficed. “What do I really want out of life?” It’s no secret that many people spend their entire lives trying to answer that question, which is not necessarily the worst thing in the world. It breaks us out of going through the motions of life, drives us to new experiences — we make career changes, maybe seek new friend groups and establish varying daily habits all in an attempt to create meaning within our lives. This epic quest comes with its fair share of adversities. Side effects include, but are not limited to, extreme frustration, periods of confusion and the ever-destructive instance of settling. Take a look at the two individuals who are running to lead our country. The political parties’ lines. The divide in our nation. We have difficult questions arising and no clear answers. We have people who are pro-life and people whorespect a woman’s right to choose. We have people who own guns and push for gun control. We have people who crave change, but can’t explain what kind of change. The problem lies in the lack of dedication to self-inquiry. We don’t know ourselves. We haven’t searched the depths of our minds, our values or really tried to understand our actual thought processes. We are pushing away the difficult questions and settling with shallow, indirect answers across the board. It’s so easy to say, “Man, I
don’t know. You choose,” and place the burden on someone else. We have become okay with following along where we prefer our friends to choose the restaurant or the movie or even our outfits so that we don’t have to face the consequences of the decision. We become puppets. We become sheep. We need to start grabbing the difficult questions by the roots and planting them within ourselves. Once we start searching inside, we can push ourselves further. We can advance our thought processes and challenge what we believe in either supporting or opening our eyes to something new. We can create clearer goals for ourselves as individuals, communities, teams, nations. We can shape our own realities but we first have to search inside and understand what we really want. These “wants” are by no means concrete. Our mindsets, moods and priorities change every day but that’s why self-inquiry is so important. We have to listen to ourselves and stay in tune with the constantly evolving vibrations of consciousness. Want to avoid becoming a puppet? You can start while sipping your coffee tomorrow morning. Take five minutes and just sit with yourself. Invite yourself to listen. Ignoring all outside distractions, literally keep your mind open. For two to five minutes, allow all thoughts to come to the surface but don’t focus on any one in particular. In other words, don’t try to think. Eventually, you will begin to recognize your unprompted thoughts and raw expressions from within, the answers to the difficult questions. For the next couple of minutes, retrace your thoughts. Do any still stand out to you? Can you connect an emotion to those thoughts? What thoughts are sparked by others? Again, sit with yourself. Sit with the idea. Explore your mind. Inquire within.
