Where the spirit leads, the feet will follow…
down distant paths for unmapped miles.
Heads forget but hearts remember.
The art of living knows no bounds.

Making the simple complicated is commonplace;
making the complicated simple,
that’s creativity.

Everyone is born creative. Everyone is given a box of crayons in kindergarten. Then when you hit puberty they take the crayons away and replace them with dry, uninspiring books on algebra, history, etc. Being suddenly hit years later with the “creative bug” is just a wee voice telling you, “I’d like my crayons back, please.
– Hugh MacLeod

Meditation – Your Vote Counts – 02 November 2020
If you haven’t already voted, either by absentee or in-person early voting, please schedule time tomorrow to visit the polls and cast your ballot.
“If you are bored and disgusted by politics and don’t bother to vote, you are in effect voting for the entrenched Establishments of the two major parties, who please rest assured are not dumb, and who are keenly aware that it is in their interest to keep you disgusted and bored and cynical and to give you every possible reason to stay home doing one-hitters and watching MTV on primary day. By all means stay home if you want, but don’t bullshit yourself that you’re not voting. In reality, there’s no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.”
– David Foster Wallace – Up, Simba!
This Vote image is a riff on Robert Indiana’s Love image, postage stamp and sculptures.

– Beyoncé

You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.
– Henry David Thoreau

Columbus Day or Indigenous Peoples’ Day?
Both.
At the center of the

Great Spirit. And that
center is really everywhere.
It is within each of us.
