Hi all!!

Comin in hot. If you missed the background on all this, catch up here, I posted a poll last night:

. I am doing a little collab/art project with Michael Schneider aka BLCKSMTH over the weekend and we gotta nail down a final quote for his gorgeous balloons.

Ok, here’s where the last poll left us, and we have EVOLVED!

Mike and I got into a discussion about the “Empathy is Endorsement” quote with Dylan, who said it’s been getting misinterpreted out of the context of their book and TED talk, so he wants to keep it off the hater block. FAIR and glad I checked. By the way, you should listen to both me and Mike’s episode of Dylan’s podcast: “Conversations with People Who Hate Me”.

Ok. So that one’s out.

I chatted with friends, I chatted with Michael McComiskey, I mulled.

This is FUN.

There were some GREAT ideas from the comments in the last post….and I also crafted a new quote, with a lighthouse metaphor, my fave. I love ALL of these

Do your thing.

Here’s the new options.

There’s no wrong answer ….truly

ONE:

THE BEST REVENGE IS TO BE UNLIKE THEY WHO CAUSED HARM. 

-Marcus Aurelius

TWO:

HAVING 
COMPASSION 
FOR PEOPLE 
YOU CANNOT STAND 
IS A REVOLUTIONARY ACT 

THREE:

TO UNDERSTAND THE MONSTER IS NOT TO BECOME ONE 

FOUR:

YOUR LACK
OF EMPATHY AND 
COMPASSION
IS NOT THE FLEX
THAT YOU THINK
IT IS 

FIVE:

NOTHING DIES FROM TOO MUCH LOVE 

-Paul Simon

SIX:

WE DON’T SEE THINGS AS THEY ARE, WE SEE THEM AS WE ARE 

-Anaïs Nin

SEVEN:

BECOME THE LIGHTHOUSE YOU NEEDED WHEN YOU ALONE IN THE  DARKNESS 

Remember how it’s gonna look blown up:

We have a couple hours before we have to get to work!!!!
