The #pinnacle of your ambition is an inflection point. That's where the path stops, and the view becomes full around. It's where you find out if you were just following the trail or if you were driven to seek out the next higher peak. You'll know which it is by how empty you feel that day.

Good morning.

Word of the Day is as beautiful as it is underused. ‘Confelicity’ is finding joy in the happiness and success of others.

and this night reminds me of you.

It is raw, quiet and slow

The below haiku comes to mind today and feels appropriate for a first post. What is gone, and what remains? We remain.

what remains
after the river is gone
this empty bed

Petition to make "Hi, what are you reading?" the conventional greeting.

"How are you doing?" hasn't been appropriate for some time now. Deprecated.
