It makes me wonder how often it has occurred that someone has earned, in their own mind, that capital "W" and in the same moment banished the heart of their muse. I would guess, and actually aspire myself, to never earn the capital version of any craft. writer, speaker, father, mystic — I can't think of a single life domain where feeling like I had made it would improve my service to that function. In fact, I fear it would disable it.

Camilo, this piece started phenomenally, AND just kept getting better!

It was hard to pick just one pearl of wisdom as the whole essay was a strand.

“The world doesn’t owe us an audience, but we owe to the world to not stay silent if we have something to say.”

Thank you thank you thank you.
