state of grace

this sacred place you seek is right at your feet.
it is called "daily life".

follow your heart.

Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.

- quote by steve jobs

ruffle a few feathers

the day has come to set aside the certainty for the unknown
release the notion that we always need to know where we are going
take an unexpected detour to nowhere, somewhere, wherever
be willing to get completely and utterly lost
it is there, in the dark alleys and undiscovered alcoves, that you will begin to find your way

eyes wide and heart open. discovery brings the real riches we have been longing for.
imagination, inspiration, art & awe.

time to be bold and daring. do something, anything, different.
this is where the path begins.

note to self.

what are you waiting for?
there's no perfect time or perfection or enough time to perfect.

creativity is what's calling.
make  S O M E T H I N G,  it begs of you.

like a child longing for your time, creativity doesn't care what you make, just that you take time to create.

all of the projects sitting on the shelf,  compartmentalized in some far corner of your mind,  a long ago written idea on a now tattered page.

pick one.
TODAY.

don't wait any longer.
some day, there won't be tomorrow.
