Where the Wild Things Were

"There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things." - Niccolo Machiavelli
"People don’t take trips – trips take people." - John Steinbeck
"Curiously, the 'pure idea' of art, the relation of form to content in what is a process bound discipline, does not appear to be in hot debate. Until it is, artists will be in danger of producing poor art as research." - Macleod, 1998, p.35
"Don't solve problems; pursue opportunities." - Peter Drucker
"When you come to the edge of all the light you know, and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown, faith is knowing one of two things will happen: There will be something solid to stand on, or you will be taught how to fly." - Barbara J. Winter

Glimmering as much as the ocean herself. Massive and beautiful beyond belief. Laden with treasures, happy times, friends, love, and laughter. This week, though, you must prepare for her arrival. You must make space in your life for her gifts, before she heads back out to sea." - The Universe
