Direction via maxim

Whenever I'm stuck, I return to this maxim I created...

This is play, not work. An experiment, not a straight jacket. Terrifying, not scary. Calm, not submissive. Conflicting, not safe. Reducing uncertainty, not peacocking. How things are, not how we’d like them to be, and equally the reverse. Exploration, not exploitation. Natural curiosity, not prescribed intellect. Idiosyncrasy, not standardization. The pursuit of ignorance, not efficacy.

Hi, my name is Daniel. I'm an artist and storyteller. Creator of 4 indie children's books on mindfulness, and teaching kids how to read with Reading.com. In my free time I'm currently focusing on mindfulness, yoga, ice plunges, teaching art, and primarily having as much fun as possible with my 3 little monkeys (human kind).
