Thank you for this reminder about the art of becoming, of creating ... creating and becoming the person I want to be.

I have a teacher who says "our actions are our true belongings." And there is the popular quote from Annie Dillard, "How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our life." And then there is Mary Oliver's poem The Summer Day with the quote "What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"

Placing my attention intentionally seems to be one the most valuable things I can do. Whatever I choose to do, however I spend my days, whatever my actions are in the world, I hope to conduct myself with gentle kindness and utmost compassion.
