Incrementalism is a little-by-little, inch-by-inch, slowly-but-surely, entirely unceremonious affair. Incrementalism is a hard sell, except that it’s effective.*
Katherine Morgan Schafler

Faith is not a state of mind, but an action in the world, a movement towards the world.**
Christian Wiman

Faith is the human’s modus operandi,
Anticipating, imagining, bringing into
being, existing between what is and
what can be, between
need and desire –
the world’s need, our desire;
Some speak of the leap of faith, but others,
Wiser than me, have
finessed faith, employing incrementalism as
their favoured mode and measure of progress.^

What might be possible if I pursue something of
intrigue or importance to me over the following
365 days –
The only hindrance is myself.
