  By Dave Ursillo on May 9, 2011
  
  “Smooth seas do not make skillful sailors.” ~African proverb
  
  It’s confession time. Over the last couple of weeks, I have felt like I’ve been sort of stumbling along.
  
  My motivation has waned slightly. When people ask me what I’ve been doing lately, my response is a lackluster, “Ehhh… I don’t even know, just the usual stuff…”.
  
  My to-do list dwindled and my project and adventure ideas were suddenly few and far between. This is simply a common occurrence for me: a natural ebb and flow of progress and regression, risking and reeling-it-in, exploration and contemplation.

- How to Counter Catastrophe with Compassion
  
  By Dave Ursillo on Mar 17, 2011

  We may be powerless to stop natural catastrophes, but we always retain the power to counter them with determined compassion and selfless giving.
  
  We live in a privileged age wherein we are afforded the ability to unite with immediacy and collectively respond. This opportunity is a gift.
