NANCY'S MANTRA
A mantra I’ve followed for years, as a way to decide which projects to pursue, is “Do good work, learn a lot, work with good people, and have fun.” It’s carried me through many years of choices of what to work on.
“Instructions for living a life:
Pay Attention.
Be astonished.
Tell about it.”
“Death waits for me, I know it, around
one corner or another.
This doesn’t amuse me.
Neither does it frighten me.
After the rain, I went back into the field of sunflowers.
It was cool, and I was anything but drowsy.
I walked slowly, and listened
To the crazy roots, in the drenched earth, laughing and growing.”
​
~ Sometime, by Mary Oliver
