Find renewal daily in the ordinary. Reconcile with the risk of correction. Seek astonishment in the world and by that nectar be thriven. Cleverness yields no such nourishment.

Autonomy – freedom to choose
Mastery – opportunity to be challenged, to enjoy the challenge, and improve
Purpose – contributing something meaningful to the Whole
How long you have denied the mind it’s quiet and the skin it’s thrill. The gentle heart, enthralled and contained, the space to replevin and elate.
To climb again, your fallen hopes permit.
To wonderment return, against cleverness resist.
Though furthest have you wandered you are least forgot,
please, homeward steer your aching heart
and do not for anything stop.
I would quit this job in a second for a chance to take photos like this all the time. I would write my girlfriend everyday and call my family from a pay phone

And still there is so much of this world to see, to feel and to experience. To move on from and forget, to make room too for the unknowable and not be hindered by memory.
