The Work.
I do believe these to be my favorite…most inspiring... presidential words to date:
via humans of new york:
“When is the time you felt most broken?”
“I first ran for Congress in 1999, and I got beat. I just got whooped. I had been in the state legislature for a long time, I was in the minority party, I wasn’t getting a lot done, and I was away from my family and putting a lot of strain on Michelle. Then for me to run and lose that bad, I was thinking maybe this isn’t what I was cut out to do. I was forty years old, and I’d invested a lot of time and effort into something that didn’t seem to be working. But the thing that got me through that moment, and any other time that I’ve felt stuck, is to remind myself that it’s about the work. Because if you’re worrying about yourself—if you’re thinking: ‘Am I succeeding? Am I in the right position? Am I being appreciated?’ --- then you’re going to end up feeling frustrated and stuck. But if you can keep it about the work, you’ll always have a path. There’s always something to be done.” ~ Barack

Artist of Life ( Forward)
The path of an artist...
" There are not a great many truly outstanding people who pass through our lives. These few remarkable people leave a distinct imprint when their chosen path in life happens to cross ours. Indeed, an encounter with an extraordinary human being at a particular confluence in the course of our daily existence may define our destiny."
~ Linde Lee Cadwell
paper whites
I was recently given a box of paperwhite bulbs.
new to me."just put em in a vase. place on some rocks..and give a tiny bit of water… "
within a day or 2 they began…
some were so eager they began in the box before any external criteria was met…
it's been almost a week…and the green has now begun to climb over the top of the vase.
and with so little needed.
it's good to watch something grow before your eyes.
from seed to bloom.
it's a good reminder of what's needed to grow--to thrive and bloom.
just a sturdy container…something to hold it all vertical.
that's really all its about. just keep VERTICAL..
keep aligned and attuned to the Y axis. ( keep access to the WHY.)
and a bit of water…
and as the green climbs up
the roots climb down.
it's the same for us….
climbing up… while burrowing in deeper…
to self.
but
what really makes the whole operation go down…
is all ready inside.
coded. packaged with deliberate deisgn.
focus and concentration at its purest.
purpose.
yes... behold the mighty and powerful seed…for within it..the ALL is contained.
