What you can plan
is too small
for you to live …
To be human
is to become visible
while carrying
what is hidden
as a gift to others.*
David Whyte
Today, if there’s something I don’t know, it’s almost certainly because I haven’t cared enough to find out … Now that information is widely and freely available, our sense of agency around knowledge needs to change. It pays to acknowledge that this is a choice, and to be responsible for it. What else have we chosen not to know?**
Seth Godin
Beyond the plan
for today
there is a story,
One that eats
information for breakfast and
turns it into wisdom,
Transforming you into a giver –
Maker of difference for
someone, somewhere.

Seth Godin’s quote is so reflective of the world we are living in I think. So much apathy in so many ways.
Thank goodness, we can turn apathy into alacrity.
