Life...to the max!

...today, who else is, for real in the circumstances of their lives, hungry or thirsty for what you're holding on to?

 

If we really worked

in order to give away the money we earned,

that would undoubtedly set limits

to the thirst for money which can possess us!

Now to whom should we give?

Jacques Ellul...from Money and Power

Seriously.

 

...a question for your soul?

 

Tell me,

what is it you plan to do

with your one wild and precious life?

...Mary Oliver--New and Selected Poems...

...awake and getting it done:

This book is helping me accomplish what seemed almost impossible in recent days...

...which is now becoming possible hour by hour.

The secret place is working.

 

...what is courage?

Courage

isn't birthed in the womb

of predictability;

it explodes

from the foundation of possibility.

It ignites what is latent;

it involves what is complacent.

It defies what is assumed.

...am away for a whole week at a secret place

miles and miles from home,

to create and write

a transformational mentoring project

for which there have been distinct divine orders

for some time now.

This has taken some necessary courage.

The outcome will bring deep change for many

who need this intentional courage

in their own lives and organizations.

Already assured of that amazing

and sacred possibility.

        Today when checking the emails, Inward/Outward had the following quote...

...another one of my favorite people:

Curtis Fletcher:

...one of those exceptional men I thank God is in my life!

...one more good man I'm extra thankful is in my life...indeed!!!
