The Importance of Followers

I love this quote: "The first follower transforms the lone nut into a leader. ... Leadership is overglorified. ... If you really care about starting a movement, have the courage to follow and to show others how to follow. And when you find a lone nut doing something great, have the guts to stand up and join in." - Derek Sivers

Pieces of Peace

Blue skies in my heart
Deep currents in my soul
Whirlwind in my chest
- My fragmentary whole

Performance, achievement
Anxiety, depression
Laughter, love, and joy
- My loose compression

Believing and doubting
Following and turning away
Resting and Wrestling
- My drunken stumbling way

His love endures forever
His mercies know no end
His death atones for me
- My unfailing Friend
