please do not ask which is the "best" design, although we have seen this question printed, because, without further qualification as to cause and purpose, the question is both unjustified and irrelevant- Josepf Albers

formulate

We weave our strand into a network of relations.

What comes of it we never know. . . That is true of all action.

Quite simply and concretely true, because one cannot know.

That is what is meant by a venture.

And now I would say that this venture is only possible when there is trust in people.

A trust- which is difficult to formulate but fundamental- in what is human in all people. Otherwise such a venture could not be made.

i felt the potential gain was worth the risk

"I candidly admit that I knowingly and deliberately left the planned working area
out of TV coverage to examine and photograph the interior crater walls
for possible bedrock exposure or other useful information.

I felt the potential gain was worth the risk."

-neil armstrong

the photograph is one that has great meaning for me: although it is not a moment of risk, it is a moment of connection and love. actually: love is the riskiest thing around. risk something today, maybe? theresa said it need only be something small. just one small thing. for love.

she also said this: "at the moment of death we will not be judged according to the number of good deeds we have done or by the diplomas we have received in our lifetime: we will be judged according to the love we have put into our work."

and say how many

Bring me the sunset in a cup,
Reckon the morning's flagons up,
And say how many dew;
Tell me how far the morning leaps,
Tell me what time the weaver sleeps
Who spun the breadths of blue!
