None of us are authorised to solve interesting problems. And there are no guarantees. Do it anyway. Generous creativity is the only way things can get better.*
Seth Godin
The earliest artists worked within the outlines of their imaginations, the later reworked their imaginations.**
James Carse
Who knows where the thought or notion
comes from: maybe the universe, the BFG,^ or
your god – who trusts you to use your own imagination
rather than being told what to do, therefore
that thing that’s always on your
mind and heart, and brings
your best talents into play
somehow,
Somewhere, for
someone,
Maybe, just
maybe that’s your workship,
Your most sacred work,
The reason you are here^^ –
Praise be.
There is only one age: alive.*^
