Overheard

“The desire of the man is for the woman, but the desire of the woman is for the desire of the man.”

“Do stuff. Be clenched, curious. Not waiting for inspiration’s shove or society’s kiss on your forehead. Pay attention. It’s all about paying attention. Attention is vitality. It connects you with others. It makes you eager. Stay eager.”

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but that we wait so long to begin it.”

“The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.”

“When, after a few years or a few months of a relationship, we find that we’re still unfulfilled, we blame our partners and take up with somebody more promising. This can go on and on—series polygamy—until we admit that while a partner can add sweet dimensions to our lives, we, each of us, are responsible for our own fulfillment. Nobody else can provide it for us, and to believe otherwise is to delude ourselves dangerously and to program for eventual failure every relationship we enter.”

I’ll set a reminder for Northern Voice, and buy a pony keg for the conference if every Bryght employee’s still there.

(I’m not saying it’s bad, I’m saying it’s natural.)

Wooo… Northern Voice partay!

Someone may choose to move on but everyone has their jobs still and I’ve got no reason to think there is anyone who is less than stoked that things worked out this way.
