Anecdote:

I loved this new movie called The Biggest Little Farm. In it, a couple decide to create a 250-acre farm using all natural environments. Everyone said they were crazy. Then the snails came, the coyotes came, the birds ate the fruit, the pig almost died. At each juncture, they thought about quitting, and they soldiered on. What have you done for love? What have you done in the face of all reason? What has been your driving passion? How have your failures taught you more?

Contemplations

Some of the most beautiful lessons from this movie are about failure, being too naïve to know failure, and carrying on. Also learning to wait, to pause, letting nature step in before altering the course.
