Thought for the Day

What I am interested in is unexpected gatherings of people

who manage to tolerate working together to make surprising

things emerge from their unexpected coalitions. [. . .] Surprise

is an old human emotion. When employed for the purposes of 

creating ⏤ not destroying ⏤ it can elicit energy, ideas and work.

~ Padraig O' Tuama
