When people rediscover the thread that runs through their story, it is often a revelation. They are no longer directionless; suddenly, their narrative has the potential for a fitting ending – or for continuation down a previously unseen path.*
William Seighart
You can see how mastery over a few things makes it possible to live an abundant and devout life – for, if you keep watch over these things, the gods won’t ask for more.**
Marcus Aurelius
Have you lost your thread –
O perhaps you hadn’t found to lose it, and
there’s likely been a confusing number of threads –
You need the thread that will take you to places you haven’t imagined
yet.
Find your curiosity and it will lead you (back) to your thread:
Make time to explore and observe,
Don’t go for the first thread, or even the forty second,
Consider your options and how they resonate with your
talents and energies and values,
Then follow the thread with a heart and produce your
art.^
