A quotation from Thomas Carlyle

The weakest living creature, by concentrating his powers on a single object, can accomplish something: the strongest, by dispensing his over many, may fail to accomplish anything. The drop, by continually falling, bores its passage through the hardest rock; the hasty torrent rushes over it with hideous uproar, and leaves no trace behind.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
The Life of Friedrich Schiller, Part 2 (1825)

How much household stuff can you move across 8 states, 1600+ miles, in a Chevy Sonic? 🚗

A lot as my wife and I established in Nov. 2020 at the height of COVID. 🗓️ #throwback

Anyway, sad to say goodbye to that car today. 🎁 #donation

Folks like to connect sentiments with colours. They say, #green is the #colour of #hope. I find green and #blue elevating and inspiring. This #door and building remind me that a home is for #comfort and #safety. Inspiration from old fortifications -> safety. Grand spaces feel intimidating. When owned, one will defend out of #fear, not #pride, nor from a sense of #accomplishment. Small homes please with #comfort & a sense of #belonging.

Quick QuotesMar 23

“Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.”
― Thomas A. Edison
