A look back at February

enjoying a real autumn + looking ahead
The daily act of living is the act of chiseling destiny through choice — from the bedrock of all possible lives we could have had, we sculpt with our choices the one life we do have. Those choices can be difficult or easy, conscious or not, made for us or made by us, but whatever their nature, they require a leap into the unknown . . . Because every life is an act of self-creation, such is the…
