War and Peace (1956) - Quotes - IMDb
I’ve recently been exploring the metaphor of work as trace – that it isn’t so much about what we put out into the world as how we put it out; that the thing we really ought to care about, the thing that ultimately matters, is the intention from which the work emerges. The rest is all mirror, representation, resemblance.

There’s a quote from Denise Lee Yohn that we really like—“Great brands are idea led AND consumer informed.” They don’t just push new ideas out there, nor do they just ask customers what they want.

Process > artifacts
As I’ve learned to let go of my prior fixation with outcomes, I’ve found myself more inclined to explore and play, and in this is another lesson: play does not imply lack of purpose.
