Without pain, we don't grow. It's the truest thing I've learned in my life. Whatever we pour ourselves into ends up chewing us up and spitting us out. But we come out the other side better than we were and those experiences stick with us. They become part of us and work their way deep into our bones. The house we built with our own hands, the hours spent working a canvas, the children we teach and the education we pursue. They're brutal and unforgiving. But we keep showing up because we have a passion for whatever it is we do. And it pays off. Not for fame or fortune, but for the pure satisfaction of the pursuit. And it's enough. It's worth it. || About these poems: Drawing an enso is the ancient tradition of painting a circle in one swift stroke. These daily pseudo-haikus embody this tradition in poetry.

Tell your story the way you want it told. Be the person you've always wanted to be. Build relationships and lend yourself to others. It's worth it. All the mundane scenes, the crushing failures, and the naysayers will be footnotes in your life (and that's if they're lucky). What will survive is your essence, the way you made people feel, the impact you left on the world. So keep moving forward with a brave soul and bold action. It's all you have and it's worth it. || About these poems... Drawing an enso is the ancient tradition of painting a circle in one swift stroke.
