The diary is the heart of my practice, the place where most of my work is made or at least first conceived.*
Austin Kleon

Work nourishes noble minds.**
Seneca

For some, their special world is a diary or journal,
For others, more disciplined in their thoughts than me,
It may be a corner for meditation,
Or a walk for reflection, but in these places
we gain a different perspective on what
we are doing for our work,^ why
we are doing it, who
we are doing this with or for, and when
we do our best work –
Above all, we reconnect to our greatest work:
What is your vocation?
To be a good person.^^

^This is work in its widest sense; it may for may not be something we are paid for, but it definitely is something we must do that requires talent and effort.
