№ 578. Intermission

 

Hope is created at the intersections of 1) passion – a desire for something vital, 2) perseverance – the need to prevail against great odds, and 3) faith – the belief that there could be something greater beyond those odds. When a leader, organization, or even country is facing its darkest days, like the ones we are in today feel like, hope is what gets us through. And while leaders can’t just “give hope” like a pill or “click here for hope” icon, what they can do is create the safe conditions in which people can discover it for themselves.

№ 182. Two Violins

Sitting on the bench of the iconic Shakespeare & Co.,
just before the concert at the nearby church, Eglise San Julien de Pauvre,
Paris, May 2014


Two violins strain
To crack free
A sky dead shut dark.
