It’s July 4, 2020. I’m in my office, celebrating with work that I love.
I feel the weight of a country opening its heavy eyes, and then closing them. Then opening them again. And then closing them again.
From the start. Until eternity.
I have A LOT on my mind today.
The project I’m working on (is part of a much bigger project that) has the potential to transform lives, families, and communities– maybe the world.
I’m having trouble concentrating on my work.
In my heart, I feel the buzz buzz of busy bees and the thump thump of a low, dry drum.
While working on this project, I’ve come across a few articles that intrigue, challenge, and inspire me.
I recommend reading them, and then reflecting on them. Then sharing them. And then reading them again…
