If you draw, the world becomes more beautiful, far more beautiful,  Trees that used to be scrub suddenly reveal their form.  Animals that were ugly make you see their beauty.  If you then go for a walk, you’ll be amazed how different everything can look.  Less and less is ugly if everyday you recognise beautiful forms in ugliness and learn to love them.*
Erich Ohser

It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge. If you bring love to that moment — not discouragement — you will find the strength is there. Any disaster you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege!**
Joseph Campbell

We bring change to our story when
we are prepared to notice, and
love is a great helper in our observations,
Slowness, too.
