look up, look around
a case for compassion
it's time to play ball, but first we need to do...
Going back a few years, a woman arrived at a wide river and needed to find a way to the other side to continue her journey.
No ferry, bridge, or path could take her there, so she built a raft with the grass, twigs, sticks, and mud around her. Supported by the raft and paddling with her feet and hands, she reached the other side safely.
As one could imagine, she was grateful for her raft and wondered, since it had been so essential, if she should take it with her.
What would you do?
Let the Music Play
During the pandemic, Michael longed for live music. He loves going to shows, and he has been lucky to see some tremendous artists like The Ramones at Hammerjacks, Whitney Houston at Wolf Trap, The Bodeans at a Wisconsin Country Fair, Bruce at The Link, and countless performances at the 9:30 Club in D.C, but one of the best was Erasure's ABBA-esque tour at George Mason University. He has even seen Taylor, but not this year since getting tickets was a bit of a kerfuffle.
Stop Should-ing on Yourself
What moments are memorable when you look back?
We live and work in uncertain times but still get to decide how we show up. We can scroll them away and continue should-ing on ourselves or choose to focus on the moments that matter, embrace life, and let go of the stupid shit.
