On Staring Into the Mid-Space & Other Thoughts on Time

If you love life, don’t waste time, because time is what life is made of. – Ben Franklin Don’t you love it when life keeps delivering up the same message to you, in different forms, until you get it? The lesson on the value of reflective, creative time has been in every field I’ve been in, […]
