If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
– Ray Bradbury

Alex,
You got to love those scifi authors! Great quote!!!
Saw a "handbook of appreciative inquiry" last night at bookstore. Thought of you. Will have to ck. it out to see if any good.
Sounds like wonderful people and projects are coming your way these days. Rejoicing with you.

Thanks, Mike!
I really enjoy the image of jumping off cliffs and building wings on the way down – that’s a fairly accurate description of my life these days.
