Since 1998 I've been sending out these reflections first thing each
week--one or more quotes plus my thoughts about the intersections and
contradictions. They're archived here back to 2002, and a new one is
posted every Monday morning. Dialogue is still welcome . . .

Quote #1214 - #OneFoot
01 Dec, 2025
ONE FOOT
"You keep putting one foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you've climbed a mountain."
Tom Hiddleston
"If I just keep putting one foot in front of the other, it stands to reason that I'm going to get there."
Rachel Joyce
THE UNLIKELY PILGRAMAGE OF HAROLD FRY
"One step. I took myself one step. And taking this one step, I won't stop with two."
Richard Maltby
Packing again? Really?
To move again? Really really?
Okay, yes, but each time we move
we throw out another three to five years worth of old
unneeded stuff
and all that stuff
so much stuff is now gone
and, more importantly, let go of.
And hopefully this will be the last move
with the help of the fates and the spitting devils.
As onerous as certain long-winded tasks are,
the key seems to always be the same--
just keep going,
just keep going,
one foot in front of the other,
one bag of garbage filled and out and then the next,
one box of important things carefully packed and sealed
and then another,
more, more,
just keep going,
one foot in front of
the other.
And then look what you've got:
a new home, a new life,
a new play, a production,
something you've knitted from fragments of dreams and ideas,
something you've woven from yarns and memories,
something you've written from yarns and images.
One foot more.
