“all any of us can do—is work to be something positive instead. That is a choice that every sapient must make every day of their life.”

“Our service and our purpose must be two circles perfectly overlapping. What we give to the world must be the work that defines us. Meaning we give ourselves to the world to make it better. We don’t just work to work. But we don’t just let our destiny die on the vine.”
― Chuck Wendig, Wayward

“Sure, sure, I’m just telling about how Puerto Rico has a lot of lessons for us here in Ouray. Maria and Irma, oof. Those storms hit us, left us reeling, Benjamin. Reeling. Demolished our power grid, our agriculture, our economy. We had to learn how to rely on ourselves, on what we could build with our own hands—a zipline and bridge across a river, griddles and grills to cook meat for our people, our own antennas and signal boosters for phones and internet, even plans for low-carbon micro-grids to get us off the big one that failed us. There’s lessons there in that. People think an apocalypse is for the whole world. But for us, those storms? They were apocalypses.”

“You worried or something, Miles? Seem a little absent-minded tonight.” I smiled and shrugged. “Just taking my work home with me, I guess.” “Mustn’t do that, boy; I never did. Forgot all about the bank the minute I put my hat on at night. ’Course you don’t get to be president that way.” He grinned. “But the president’s dead now, and I’m still alive.”
