More on talking:

“Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud.”
Hermann Hesse

“Good communication is as stimulating as black coffee, and just as hard to sleep after.”

I initiated some great conversations this week on topics from recordings to concerts to workshops and more. (And I had some late nights turning them over in my mind. *smile*)

How about you? What did you talk up this week?

More on committing:

“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, then Providence moves, too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamt would have come his way.”
W.H. Murray, mountaineer

“Stay committed to your decisions, but stay flexible in your approach.”
— Tom Robbins, author
