I love the reflective question of how to spend our time well. It’s something I often ruminate over myself, I want to make all the moments count because we never truly know which one will be our last.

Thank you for cultivating this beautiful space, and for making it accessible to free subscribers everywhere.

Humanity needs this kind of support right now.

The week before last week I heard Elizabeth Gilbert speak, live. A couple of hours of Live Love. Very difficult to articulate. It was literally spellbinding.

Today I got her email, and having connected to your work via Brendon Burchard, I immediately hopped over to have a squint at what you're up to. I love that you are exploring from your different view. It's a very exciting proposition.

(I'm currently noodling about, trying to work out how to use Substack as a way of expressing how I see the world, but in a way that's helpful for others - what you have put out so far is rather inspiring)

Anyway. Goosebump moment. That paragraph when you share how you met Liz - Suzanne Vega (from that very album) was playing as I read it. So as the indications are that I'm on the right path, I shall keep noodling on, noting and sketching as I go, and see where my explorations take me today.

I'm reading 'Super Infinite' (about John Donne) at the moment and I was fascinated to read this morning that he had a book where he collected scraps of information for future weavings into creative expression... Next stop to re-read my Spark E type and maybe I'll play shuffle with Big Magic and see what page it falls open on...

Thank you for your ongoing inspiration!

The Big Magic shuffle results are in! (close eyes, turn the book over and over and around, open it, then open eyes): paperback p86

"They just made stuff.

So that's what I decided to do. I decided to just go make stuff.

My heart gave a little jump for joy when I saw "Awake @ The Wheel". I'm looking forward to whatever unfolds on this branch of the journey.
