You’ve got to say yes to this miracle of life as it is, not on the condition that it follows your rules.  Otherwise, you’ll never get through to the metaphysical dimension.*
(Joseph Campbell)

We make our biggest contribution when we dare to do what only a handful will do.  Being one of the few is underrated.**
(Bernadette Jiwa)

I wish that I could describe the blue of the sky that awaited me this morning.

On a crisp, still, icy morning I looked up in awe at the sky that was later than night but not yet morning.  Soon a new day would begin and I couldn’t help but ponder:

What if this were the first day of a new possibility?

A day in which I could whole-mindedly, -heartedly and -bodily invest myself.

What is the story I will tell myself towards this?  Before the other stories kick in?

What will be the thing I do that is different to what others are doing?

It’s true of every day, it’s real for each of us:

‘The most important things in life require that you bring your own urgency.  Passion is the fuel that brings urgency.’^
