When gratitude is harmful

"When we paint over pain with premature or unexamined gratitude, we're actually delaying our healing. We're denying a critical part of our experience -- the actual suffering, in which there is incredible power and agency.

After you have respected the pain and tabulated the lessons then comes the gratitude."

-Danielle LaPorte

-Miranda July

All I Have Seen

All I have seen teaches me to trust the Creator for all I have not seen. "
— Ralph Waldo Emerson  

Grow not Shrink

"You have to get out there. You have to feel life on your own skin. On your own terms. By your own rules. And maybe that’s the very first thing you need to learn to do– burn the rulebook and screw the boxes that other people want to put you inside of.Your life has nothing to do with tiny, little boxes that help you play smaller than you truly are. The point is to grow, not to shrink. But if you’re any ounce of human then you’ll always try to shrink before you grow"

What they never knew they wanted...

“I THINK PART OF MY SUCCESS AS AN EDITOR CAME FROM NEVER WORRYING ABOUT A FACT, A CAUSE, AN ATMOSPHERE. IT WAS ME – PROJECTING TO THE PUBLIC. THAT WAS MY JOB. I THINK I ALWAYS HAD A PERFECTLY CLEAR VIEW OF WHAT WAS POSSIBLE FOR THE PUBLIC. GIVE ‘EM WHAT THEY NEVER KNEW THEY WANTED.”
