A pause

As we prepare to end the year it seems good to pause in the busyness.

As the jacaranda flowers open and fall we can rest a moment. Listening.

Listening to those who dare to imagine a world that could be. Listening to those who warn wisely, those who imagine solutions to difficult problems, and those who bring laughter and hope.

Then speaking - so that we share wisdom and perspective, confidence, courage and optimism.

Pausing, listening, and speaking we lead and follow.
