The Urgency of Doing

May 20, 2024

“I have been impressed with the urgency of doing. Knowing is not enough; we must apply. Willing is not enough; we must do.” — Leonardo da Vinci

As the sand continues to slip through my metaphorical hour-glass, this quote (also attributed to Goethe) is pressuring me in a big way. Part of the urgency is our upcoming Reunion show… details here. The other part is the pressure that comes from my lifetime struggle with procrastination and my addictive reliance on deadlines to keep my motion moving forward.

The show is under two weeks away. Time to edit. Just keep breathing. We’ll muddle through, always do. Just do it!

It’s all good.
