It is the nature of the earth and our dust to be in constant contact with the impulse of life. If we listen, we will hear the continuous tread of love, moving up our limbs like sap, like an electric current impelling is to “stir and step out.”*
M. C. Richards

Art is the human act of doing something that might not work and causing change to happen. Work that matters. For people who care. Not for applause, not for money. But because we can.**
Seth Godin

When it comes to what to ask,
Which door to knock on,
Where to begin looking,
What is already inside of us will guide us.

The inside of you is akin to the warehouse
pictured at the close of
Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark.

What you have to ask,
The doors you will knock,
The places you look
will make the kind of difference that
we need.

Notice it and focus it:
How much of the beauty of
our own lives is about
the beauty of being alive?
How much of it is
conscious and intentional?
That is the big question.^
