The Ordinary Part of Extraordinary Pursuits

Every dream is full of mundane repetition

Mar 12, 2019

March. It may seem like an inconspicuous month, nicely tucked in-between February and April, trying not to draw attention to itself.

Or maybe it’s the feeling of having planted seed after creative seed and never seeing any of them bear fruit.
