What small thing deeply calls to you?

“A man will seek to express his relation to the stars; but when a man’s consciousness has been riveted upon obtaining a loaf of bread, that loaf of bread is as important as the stars.”

What do you need to address in your life before you can think about loftier goals?

Often it’s best to judge carefully, to consider options and implications, to be thoughtful and cautious in moving toward what we think we want. But sometimes you just need to move in with gusto, before the delicious popsicle melts to a sticky mess, before the opportunity is gone.

When have you leapt after something you hungered for?

“Leaves will forever hunger for the brightness of the sun, and the darkness of the shade.”
― Anthony T. Hincks

What do you hunger for that you also desire its opposite?

Sometimes what we hunger for is not just out of reach, it is forbidden. Maybe because we know it could harm us, maybe because our taking what we want could harm others, maybe simply because there are rules or conventions that tell us what we want is not allowed.

How have you handled wanting something that was forbidden to you?
