You can find the craft in whatever you do.*
Rob Bell

You won’t get fired for following a best practice. But you won’t build something that matters with them either.**

There are instances and
situations where
I want you to follow the guidelines –
Think, piloting the plane–

There are many more places where
I would love for you to bring
your crafter’s heart,
And bring more–

Possibilities I cannot see, born of
deep talent and purpose and meaning,
Expressed through imagination
and skill and service–

You feel and notice
more than most–
Because this isn’t some genetic club,
It’s your choice.

We are not observers of a world already built. We are participants in a world still becoming – shaped by intention, tension, and the trembling power of presence.^
