“If I cannot do great things, I can do small things in a great way”
―Martin Luther King Jr.
What small things to you do in a great way?
Wildlife Preserve
Fortunately, there are stretches of land that are preserved for wildlife, where roads and development and civilization are banned so that the plant and animal inhabitants have space to flourish. Perhaps it would be a good idea for each of us to have a wildlife preserve in our own lives, where instinct, intuition and a sense of our wild nature could flourish.
How do you make room for the “wild” in your life?
The Beginning of the Road
“He who chooses the beginning of the road chooses the place it leads to. It is the means that determines the end.”
―Harry Emerson Fosdick
What made you choose the road you are walking at the moment?
Snow Sculpting
Whether it’s a classic snowman or a fancy robot, building something out of snow is a pure labor of love, done for the act of creation itself, since nothing made of snow can last.

Tu B’Shevat
In the Jewish calendar Tu B’Shevat marks the new year for trees (as opposed to the new year for the universe/calendar, which happens in the fall at Rosh Hashana). Why have a new year for trees at a time when you couldn’t possibly hope for blossoms? Perhaps because the new year happens when things are very first in bud, not when they start to unfold.
What in your life in is bud?
