Simple Curiosity



"Ours is really a simple craft. But it is a rich one, too. At its best, the simple becomes obvious; a band of small discoveries, strung like pearls on a thread of curiosity, lending richness to our work."

"Simplicity is the beginning of many fine things."

-James Krenov, "The Impractical Cabinetmaker"

    I confess my ignorance, and though I googled it,
    what does
    Ratione et Passionis mean?

      Ian,

      No worries man, "Ratione et Passionis" is Latin for "Reason and Passion" The two forces that create the tension inside of us that is where creativity comes from.

      I got the words and idea from a passage in Kahlil Gibran's book called "The Prophet"

      I wrote a post with an excerpt from the work when I made the change from signing off with "Cheers" to what it is today. You can find it here

      If you haven't read The Prophet, I very much recommend it.

      Thanks for reading
      D
