A Productive Note

I have this quote on a post-it note on the edge of my monitor. There have been a lot of post-it notes on the edge of my monitor ... but this one actually helps.

"Accept the fear of things
going too well. Accept edginess
when things are too easy,
when there’s no conflict.
Don’t gum things up just to
make them more stimulating."


It Is You

The key change is perfect.

A Little Antsy

Colorado tends to be dry and brown and dry and brown and dry and brown and oppressively sunny. It doesn't exactly make my heart sing.
I'm not sorry. Know thyself, right?

But we did find some pretty autumn color outside of Boulder last weekend.

All Undiscovered

“I do not know what I may appear to the world, but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.” 

Isaac Newton

Óbidos ... Sintra ... Etc

"Today is the happiest day of my life. I know Italy, Sicily, Greece and Egypt, and I have never seen anything, anything, to match the Pena. It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen. This is the true Garden of Klingsor and there, up above, is the Castle of the Holy Grail."

Richard Strauss
