Curation is the ultimate way of transforming noise into meaning.*
Rohit Bhargava

I grow in these moments like corn in the night: this is not time subtracted from my life, but so much over and above my usual allowance. I realise what the Orientals mean by contemplation and the forsaking of words … if the birds and flowers should try me by their standard, I would not be found wanting. A man must find his occasions in himself.**
Henry David Thoreau

I cannot include everything,
You will involve things I do not –
Together, a larger picture of all things –
Then, for this single life,
I must select what is most
precious and meaningful to me –
Even as you choose what is
invaluable to you –
Arranging these into a story
I might enhance daily, whilst you
increase yours.

Towards this,
Time to reflect and ponder –
Perhaps in silence, perhaps in
journal –
Is never wasted time.
