Rage brings forth power
Everything comes with a cost
Not a path to peace

Roll The Clocks Back
I sometimes wonder
If we should roll our clocks back
Into sundials
Ikigai: an idea to explore
Found this graphic exploring Twitter this morning
Check out @wef’s Tweet: https://twitter.com/wef/status/927159068413833216?s=09
A very clever Venn diagram displaying the importance of balance in life. Each of the four pieces bring value:
- What you love
- What the world needs
- What you can be paid for
- What you are good at
We find our best life, with the most satisfaction, where all these pieces intersect. And that neglecting any of these areas brings consequences.
Ikigai is a new concept to me. One that bears exploring further. I appreciate the way it helps define key life management concepts:
- Passion: what you love insects with what you’re good at
- Vocation: what you can get paid for intersects with what the world needs
- Mission: what the world needs with what you love
- Profession: what you’re good at with what you can get paid for
I appreciate the reminder: look beyond my habits, my reflexes, and seek greater understanding. By dedicating energy to areas out of balance, I bring greater satisfaction, balance, and relive stress. That’s something I forget.
A Transfiguration
Light across the cloud
The eye of God looking down
Changed when it meets me
A Look At The FUSE Conference
I found this fun little video today:
As fan of Debbie Millman’s work, especially her podcast: Design Matters, I really got a kick out it. Now, it’s a bit out of date (2013…wow…in some respects it seems like just a few days ago, and also like a hundred years ago).
I haven’t made it to a FUSE Conference yet. This is something that I find very intriguing and want to experience. Maybe not as bad as Burning Man, but, well, you know…
Anyway, I love the effect of leaving through the notebook. Very charming.
A Rainy Seattle Friday: Haiku Challenge
Rain is now falling
A #Seattle element
All things grow from there
The “word of the day” was “element”
Full moon this evening

And now it’s Thursday
This strange thing, Thursday
Near the end of the workweek
But without respite
A Haiku About Being True To Yourself
Being true to “you”
In this age of social noise
Now, who is this “me”?
Welcome to November
Welcome November!
It’s supposed to rain today
This is Seattle
