If there were a map, there’d be no art, because art is the act of navigating without a map. Don’t you hate that? IContinue reading “Five Quotes (and a short video) from Seth Godin”

Color on a Grey Day (just a few pics)
Crazy busy day at work today. The rain drizzled on-and-off outside for most of it. Grey clouds. And after facing a stove for most of the day I felt like I needed some air…and color. I took a brief walk and snapped a few photos and thought I’d share. Click it for an enlarged view.

When I was getting on my bike yesterday I saw a few flowers that–for lack of better words and while not trying to sound too hokey–stopped me in my tracks. Beautiful. I snapped a few pictures and thought I’d share a couple. (Click them for a larger view.)

Five Quotes from Joseph Campbell
“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living.

Five Quotes from Leo Tolstoy

Graceful
I saw these seagulls flying around the other day…swooping down and grabbing small pieces of bread that someone had thrown on the street. They seemed so graceful and at peace; it was a sort of aerial dance. It reminded me of this following passage (which I have often found inspiring): “Therefore I tell you, doContinue reading “Graceful”

>Life = Risk
>Everyone is extraordinary in their own way…I truly believe this; we only allow ourselves to be ordinary (or think we are).
