The work week has just begun (oy!).

A few thoughts on work:

“People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.” ~Thomas Sowell

If you want to kill any idea in the world, get a committee working on it.  ~Charles Kettering

The brain is a wonderful organ; it starts working the moment you get up in the morning and does not stop until you get into the office.  ~Robert Frost

It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.  ~Tom Brokaw

Make a difference.

Here’s a thought:

This year for Earth Day,

instead of giving our planet a Present

Let’s give it a Future

Happy is the goose
that does not waste its days
trying to be a duck.

have you seen how hope
gathers at the edge of pain?

how like first light, it graces
the thin lip of the ridge
before sweeping wholesale
down the slope?

how sometimes it is slow
to gather, and even slower
to rise up over the noise
of our daily just-eking-by?

love, too, is like this –
it should spill over like time
that can’t be bound by hours,
it should shake your petals
