Stay curious, preferably with a camera in hand.
Fueled
We’re all thirsty…and can’t go too far without a drink. Trouble abounds when there’s no station. Or, when we don’t take the time to think about how to refuel.
We can’t move forward without giving thought to ourselves, especially how to stay fresh, alert, mindful, inspired and properly fueled.
Modification
Making the original more useful, better performing or more efficient is a worthy endeavor. But sometimes, it’s just for show.
What’s it for? Who’s it for? Worth considering before we start changing things.
Icon
When does something evolve from typical and familiar to iconic? What stands in the way?
It’s just a sign…until it’s not.
Strapped
It’s hard to flourish when we feel tied down. Of course, most of the straps are self inflicted or perhaps made up altogether. What can we accomplish despite our current boundaries? What can we make with a beautiful constraint?
Together
…almost always works better than apart, even when we stand opposed. The burden then is on each of us to make the choices and do the work to create unity. Chaos rarely dissipates on its own.
How can we earn the respect of others, especially when we don’t agree with them? How can we act? What trail have we left behind to reassure the others?
Rest Stops
…are fairly important. And they’re much more than just taking a break. Not only do we get to recharge. But, we have a chance to notice, to be more in the present, to enjoy our surroundings and those we’re with.
How can we design more rest stops into our busy lives?
Language
It only works of both sides agree upon the meaning of the symbols being used. Of course, it’s hardly ever a perfect transfer. Interpretation, mood, opinion, context, comprehension all have an impact. When in doubt whether our message is being received as intended, simplify. It may seem childish. But, it will probably work.
