A view of life and commercial real estate from Newark and Licking County, Ohio
Martin was like an old song you'd hear at a fair. Somehow, without it, it wouldn't be a fair at all, just a place where people bought things and sold things, and then went home. Whereas some people could live by the Sunday sermon, Martin must live by the song. The Christ that Martin knew had turned water to wine, and wine was for drinking, and for Martin it worked. Since he could remember, there was no tomorrow that hadn't looked after itself.
-John Moriarty, A Hut at the Edge of the Village
When you open yourself to the continually changing, impermanent, dynamic nature of your own being and of reality, you increase your capacity to love and care about other people and your capacity to not be afraid. You're able to keep your eyes open, your heart open, and your mind open. And you notice when you get caught up in prejudice, bias, and aggression. You develop an enthusiasm for no longer watering those negative seeds, from now until the day you die. And you begin to think of your life as offering endless opportunities to start to do things differently.
