It is the time you have wasted for your rose that makes your rose so important.*
The fox to the Little Prince

The cliff edge is a frontier where passions, belonging, and need call for our presence, our powers, and our absolute commitment.**
David Whyte

Now is not the time to pull back
but to give everything –
Others may think it wasteful, but
it is the gift of your creativity,
And once we have figured out what we must
do to make our contribution, then we can never give less,
But more:
More time, more effort, more input, more connection,
More imagination.
