The calm within

Cosmic Catalogue

At almost every turn, the landscape looks different. Times have changed, people have changed, and cities have changed. Nothing looks like it once did.

Historically, humans aren’t fond of change. Change is inevitable, but growth is not. 

There is a chance to pause and to put your feet on solid ground this week. To catch your breath and think about what you want out of these times, out of all these changes. Do you want to be in the same place this time next year, or would you like to make the kind of progress that seems impossible right now?

The calmest place you can be is right in the eye of the storm. Let the talking heads talk. Let those who say the sky is falling down wait for it to fall. Let those say it can’t be done, not do it.

Not only is the eye of the storm the calmest, but holding your center is the most powerful. Figure out what you want and what sacrifices you’re prepared to make to make it happen.

A turning point has arrived. The sea has parted. Do you remain true to the promise and cross it, or do you let the fear of failure and change keep you safe?

The stage was simple, designed to resemble a wooden board that resembled the siding of any barn, anywhere across America.
