will sprout beauty, shining in undying glory.

In a little while, those who make the leap,

will reap joy and blessings, showering within, without.

In a little while, before the dawn breaks,

there in the dark, will they breathe, will they live.”

“Over the past three decades, our daily lives have changed slowly but dramatically. Boundaries between leisure and work, public space and private space, and home and office have blurred and become permeable. How many of us now work from home, our wireless economy allowing and encouraging us to work 24/7? How many of us talk to our children while scrolling through e-mails on our BlackBerrys? How many of us feel overextended, as we are challenged to play multiple roles–worker, boss, parent, spouse, friend, and client–all in the same instant?”

Here’s my take to any of you young creative blood who thinks ‘I’m not ready yet.’ : (excerpt from the afternoon)

“Get it out. Don’t keep it after creating it. It’s like cooking and then putting the dishes in the fridge, hiding it there. It doesn’t do ANYTHING. Get it out. The worst you’ll get? Some bad remarks, some constructive feedback. But the deal is that you’ll have gotten it out. Give it a chance for success or failure. But don’t go for ‘decided failure’. I’ve seen my fair share of bad shit out there. The world goes on – what matters is the chance, the experience, the lesson – and that you’ve lived. Your work included.”

So c’mon, 2009 might be the year to get out of that bloody fridge. Go!
