A NOTE FROM MY GRANDFATHER

"Just remember that very smart people often spend a great deal of time trying to appear smart and that sometimes get in the way of language and communication. Ask questions!"

KEEP TRYING

Despite consistent weights on the opposite side of the scale, I have to believe it is possible - I have to continue to believe it is possible. I must find ways to balance those heavy weights.

Gino writes a new part on the fly and teaches it to me...starting confused, at 2 minutes I get it - it all starts to sink in...

OPEN HER UP

For anything to change in this world, we must take responsibility for our actions -
see the areas in which we deliberately avoid confrontation to try to protect ourselves - to 'make things easier' - thus injuring the collective body greatly.

Facing myself.
Facing my past.

The greatest strength lies in vulnerability.

Don't be afraid to change.
Don't be afraid to be completely open.

We are infinite.
We are human.

We are human.
We are infinite.

YOU BUILT THIS PATH

Some people don't just clear away the foliage,
they lay stones so the path stays open...
so you can see where you've been and where you're going...
it takes longer,
its harder work,
but it lasts,
and there's a great benefit in the craftsmanship -
for everyone.

(you are amazing sister! an inspiration - cheers to mutualism)
