Weekly Roundup: Craft II

May 17- May 21, 2021

Monday: The person behind the filet at the winery or the artisan duck dish at the farm-to-table meal matter. Not their nametag, but the person. There are no bureaucratic barriers. There's no “system" to uphold. Only excellence.

Tuesday: Any artisan will tell you that proficiency takes practice, but excellence requires the burn of passion. There’s a smoldering fire that must burn in the background of pure skills that moves the needle from good to great, nice to beautiful, complete to exquisite.

Wednesday: “Because it keeps my farm beautiful, and a farm that is beautiful draws me to it. I want to be there. I want to work. An unkept farm repels. Beauty draws me back.”

Thursday: And over a year or more the small, steady investment becomes something big and beautiful. (Too big and beautiful to fit into a weekend!)

Friday: The pursuit of better is not futile. To be better simply means one degree closer to a predetermined goal than before. (No, the goal can’t be perfection.)
