The show’s over.
The curtain drops.
The lights go out.
All lights but one.
A spotlight
at the center of the stage.
That one still burns.
The light is the memory
of the performance that was;
the rumble of drums,
the growl of guitars;
of thousands swaying to the beat.
The show’s over,
but the memory remains.

[awesomeness] is dreaming and doing December 2nd, 2009
came across two brilliant pieces. The first is a Tom Peters’ latest video for his upcoming book – The Little Big Things; the second is a quote I came across on Craig’s facebook.
“But when I said that nothing had been done I erred in one important matter. We had definitely committed ourselves and were halfway out of our ruts. We had put down our passage money — booked a sailing to Bombay. This may sound too simple, but is great in consequence. Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, the providence moves too. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way. I learned a deep respect for one of Goethe’s couplets:
“Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it!”“
- William H. Murray, part of the Scottish Himalaya Expedition
