Here is an excerpt from In the Quest for Light,Being Beauty and the Bearing of Story:

But in the quest for our work –
everything that we do,
it’s a kind of quest for light,
and bearing that light forward.

At the very best, a team of people shines in their work, in the telling of their story –
it’s an uplifting experience;
everyone rises to the wave of momentum in
the team that seeks the upscale rendering of beauty,
truth and the profundity of enhanced experience.

 Each of us looks for betterment;
and many of us
look for beauty.
A moment of light –
the cracking open of discovery
is our own personal treasure finding.
Perhaps, that is the
nature of the work.

Finding treasure.
Magic.
Truth.
Wonder.

That’s where I go,
that’s where I come from.
