Lessons from Noah

“Only those who attempt the absurd will achieve the impossible.” — M. C. Escher

This quote tickles my inner child in a good way. What does it mean to attempt the absurd? To attempt something that doesn’t yet make sense. That’s where innovation begins. It reminds me of the Bible story about Noah. He was building a huge boat, and everyone was calling him crazy. Well, it turns out he was right on time. When the ark was finished, God closed the doors. Noah and his family survived along with all the animals. You see, they were called crazy for the entire building process, but in the end, he wasn’t so crazy after all.

Don’t let outside factors keep you from inside work. Do the thing even if it doesn’t make sense right away.

Jayne is a writer. On her free time she likes to be with her family hiking outdoors and traveling. New England is her home and place of birth. When asked what she wants to teach the world she replied, "Don't stop searching. Too many times, in my old life, I put my search aside for more 'important matters.' I didn't realize the thing I was searching for held what was most important; my soul purpose." Jayne works daily on improving her craft and at times can get down on herself, but her favorite morning mantra is "It's a new day." and that's what she strives to start with.

    1. Thanks I wish you the best too!
      And I just want to say I don’t think of myself as being a poet. I think there are poets who spend more time on their verses and don’t really know where they’re going with it in the beginning.

      Thanks for stopping by and taking time to comment. 🙌🙌
