Here’s to expertise

Hard work is all around you.
Expertise is everywhere.

People have tried and failed
and tried again.

So many things have to be done well
in order for society to tick along -
as though it’s the natural order of things.

Inspiration and curiosity
can take you by the shoulders, and
shake you out of yourself
at the oddest moments.

There are decades of craft
behind those moments.

Expertise is all around you.

See if it can teach you
something.

Dream intentionally - while you're awake.
