“The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” -Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Perhaps the project you’re trying to manifest, the change you’re trying to make, doesn’t have an endpoint in sight. You’re worried about the long slog ahead. “Is this worth it?” Just begin. Trust that if you’re intentionsContinue reading “Endpoint?”

I was performing in a play, a total passion project, and in the audience that night was one of my acting heroes. As a matter of fact, he’d originated the role I was playing. (No pressure, right?) What I’ll never forget is that the entire time, he sat on the edge of his seat, totallyContinue reading “Having A Rooting Spirit”
