…happens when our scattered being arrives at a place of centeredness…
…when our peace surpasses our understanding…
…and when the mundane becomes the holder of our magic.

One of these typically will remedy what we’ve messed up.
You’re going to have to leave…
…the world of measurement.
Sooner or later, you’ll find that the numbers, tallies, and scoring systems aren’t where the joy and the beauty is.
Einstein once said, “Not everything that counts can be counted, and not everything that can be counted counts.”
We’ve stopped keeping score in our house…
Now beauty is in the lead and our hope is only to catch a ride somewhere new off its mysterious draft.
Beautiful and pretty…
…are not the same.
One of these is predictable….the other a mystery that loves to surprise and delight us.
One hangs out in the mundane…and the other is filtered into our frames.
One is generic and voted for by the masses…the other is only known, appreciated, and held by a few.
One is externally confirming……the other is altruistic and internal.
And satisfaction, meaning, contentment, fulfillment, and art are only synonymous with one of these.
