when we disconnect
from our pain
we stop growing
when we are dominated
by our pain
we stop growing
freedom is observing our pain
letting it go
and moving forward

There’s a metaphor in here somewhere. (。•́︿•̀。)
If we’re able to leave room for the encounters that will change us in ways we can’t yet see, we can also acknowledge that we are each a confluence of forces that exceed our own understanding. This explains why, when I hear a song I unexpectedly like, I sometimes feel like something I don’t know is talking to something else I don’t know, through me…I find it to be the surest indicator that I’m alive.

How to Do Nothing
“Greet customers as if they were your long lost cousin and ask them what you can do for them.”
I remember watching video of Steve Jobs’ last public appearance in June of 2011, when he presented plans for a new Apple campus before the Cupertino City Council. Two months later, he would step down as CEO, and only two months after that he would pass away. The campus was one of the last products he shaped.
Eight years later, and after spending two of them working in Cupertino during the construction, it felt a bit like stepping into the future to visit the finished Apple Park Visitor Center for the first time yesterday. Fun fact: the “spaceship” is the largest LEED Platinum-certified office building in North America. Also, the aluminum replica below weighs over 5 US tons. Also, I’m a nerd.
