Goals and Deadlines

On this national deadline day, a few thoughts on reaching goals. How what keeps us going is setting new ones, and what happens when we don't know what the next new one should be.

The natural world may be of some help here. It's all about growth and change: bud to flower, flower to leaf. Waves rolling in; waves rolling out. The steady rhythm of the tides.

But all of this within seasonal cycles.

Nature doesn't mind repeating itself. But it does so with endless variation.
