Escape the predictable this weekend and soar. . .

This poem moved me to tears – I’m interrupting my regular post to share.

until one is committed. . .

I’ve shared this passage by W.H. Murray before – it is one of my favorites. I still have and read the time-worn, faded slip of paper with this passage on it that someone dear to me placed in my hand many years ago. Thank you DK.

Until one is committed
there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back,
always ineffectiveness.
Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation),
there is one elementary truth,
the ignorance of which kills countless ideas
and splendid plans:

That the moment one definitely commits oneself,
then Providence moves too.
All sorts of things occur to help one
that would never otherwise have occurred.
A whole stream of events issues from the decision,
raising in one’s favour all manner
of unforeseen incidents and meetings
and material assistance,
which no (wo)/man could have dreamt
would have come (her)/his way.
I have learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:

“Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it.
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.”

Susan Lomuto and Matt Duffy

Mmmmmmm. . . so much truth in those words. Tomorrow I am going to share a critical piece of assistance that I received on my journey of commitment. It’s how I made the apprenticeship project happen (among other things). I don’t make many endorsements of products or services here on DAM, but this is one I feel compelled to share. More to come tomorrow!

rejoice in your portion

Here is a picture of one of the many plants that I took dozens of pictures of while I was on retreat. I was there long enough to catch it in bud form and then a week later in full blossom. The quote is one of my favorites. Something to think about this morning. Empowering.
