“Life is a bubble in a lake, that glitters for an instant, bursts, and leaves not even a blur on the water; it is the leap of a minnow, which sends a tiny ripple trembling for a few inches.” LifeLife IsWaterTinyInstantLakesLeapBubblesInchesTremblingGlitterRippleBlurMinnows Author:Austin O'Malley
“A silence reigns upon the air, Upon the pansies by the shore, Upon the violets, pale and fair, Upon the willow, bending o'er; The reeds and lilies silent grow, The dark green waters silent sleep, Save when the summer breezes blow, Or silvery minnows leap.” GrowsWaterDarkSleepSilenceAirSummerFairsGreenSilentBlowLeapShorePaleReignBreezeVioletLiliesReedsBendingPansiesSummer BreezeMinnows Book:Drift: A Sea-shore Idyl : and Other Poems Source: Drift: A Sea-shore Idyl : and Other Poems
“It's not reckless, because when we leap, when we dive in, when we begin, only begin, we bring our true nature to the project, we make it personal and urgent. And it's not abandon, not in the sense that we've abandoned our senses or our responsibility. In fact, abandoning the fear of fear that is holding us back is the single best way not to abandon the work, the pure execution of the work. Later, there's time to backpedal and water down. But right now, reckless please.” WayFactsWaterResponsibilityPleaseRight NowPureProjectsSensesBest WayAbandonLeapAbandonedExecutionUrgentRecklessTrue Nature Author:Seth Godin
“The process could be likened to relaxing on a riverbank and watching a fish leap out of the water, sparkle for a moment in the sunlight, then dive back in a graceful arc. There is no need to engage in a mental dialogue about the merits and demerits of the fish, emotionally react to the fish, or jump into the water to try to catch the fish. Once the fish is out of sight, it should also be out of mind.” NeedsShouldTryingMindMomentsProcessWaterMeditationSightFishesDialogueMeritLeapSunlightArcsSparkle Author:Bill Vaughan
