I will confess I am a great wingman. Since I have a girlfriend, I'll start the night with her, but then I'll help out the guys by making them sound like the most incredible guys in the world. ↗

I suppose I was artistic as a child. Our house was so full of art and artists that it never occurred to me not to be constantly making things. I just assumed that all kids liked to work with their hands as much as I did. I was an only child so I did have a lot of time to be creative by myself and with my parents. ↗

I'm so involved in the process that sometimes at the end of a day, I can look at the piece on my desk and really wonder how it got there. At other times, I really have to struggle with a piece to turn it into what I had in mind. Sometimes, I give up and leave it half finished to work on something else. Then in a few days, when I come back to it, I can see what it wants to be... which sometimes is not at all what I had in mind. When I just let that happen, things seem to go more smoothly. ↗

If we can find short-term incentives that are consistent with our long-term objectives, it is much easier to make the right decisions in the moment. ↗

The ignoramus crow of "love it or leave it" omits other viable options, such as staying and changing it. ↗

We may not have the ability to change all of the world's wrongs, but we can make a difference where we are. ↗

Odd how we focus on studying wars at at school to form our 'education'. No wonder we know so little about making and forging peace as adults. ↗
