Here are the references from our second episode with Jill Sornson Kurtz:
Scott Belsky – Making Ideas Happen
We read from Mary Oliver’s poem – Have You Ever Tried to Enter the Long Black Branches?
We talked about the urgency behind her line – “Listen, are you breathing just a little and calling it a life?”
“What one does is what counts. Not what one has the intention of doing” – Pablo Picasso
“Attention is the beginning of devotion. … If the attention of humans can be so easily filched by a machine—or, more precisely, the companies that operate those machines—then it follows that the capacity for devotion is damaged along the way.” – Mary Oliver
Benediction:
May we all set an intention that takes our passion, our talent, our ability and serves the world. And may we all find the discipline to pursue that intention with consistency and rigor.
The world needs that, now more than ever.
