The Times They Are A-Changin'

I haven’t used this at all like I should. It sort of just sits out there and I randomly post when I’m bored or remember it exists. The reason is… well, it goes a little something like this: Started a business, got married, honeymooned in Spain, went to Nicaragua, moved 350 miles, sister in law got married, started a garden, raising chickens… it’s been an insane...

For the Love

…we come to the same crossroad of decision within whatever craft or work we’re engaged in. We can work for control and mastery over the “object”, thereby exploiting it for our own gain and recognition, or, we can enter into the love of the work for it’s own sake, exploring the mystery with open hands, thereby inviting others to enter into our joy. The latter is what...

Don't Google URLs you should be bookmarking...
