DOING VS. SPEWING

CHAPTER 26:

DOING VS. SPEWING

God will not have his work made manifest by cowards.

—Ralph Waldo Emerson; fearless writer/poet, highly-skilled

spewer and doer

I have a friend who had the word “Duh” tattooed on the inside of her upper arm

in homage to the fact that all of our big ah-ha moments are no-brainers; “Fear is

a choice!” “I am lovable!” “Don’t worry, be happy!” Every time she high-fives,

or lifts her arm to see if she needs a shave, she gets reminded of how often the

sublime lies waiting in the obvious.

You know countless of these truisms of which I speak, you’ve heard them or

thought them a million times, but when they finally sink in and you “get it,” they

suddenly become earth-shattering news.
