I hope you’re having a beautiful day. ♡
Here’s another light-filled ¤ Gem ¤
“Memory and motive are the two edges of the blade by which we slice experience out of events and carve out history – personal, political, civilizational – from the trunk of life. Both are highly selective – memory retrospectively so and motive prospectively.”
–Maria Popova, Figuring
I figure this. If there is anyone to emulate and inspire us, it is Maria Popova herself. What a story and demonstration of the difference one person can make when fully committed to the greater good.

John, I agree. Maria is marvelous. Have you read Figuring? I’m nearly done, then I want to read her other two books. This week and next will be quotes from Figuring. I highly recommend it! ♥
