“Speak out in acts; the time for words has passed and only deeds will suffice.”Alfred North Whitehead

The Rope

“a threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

1. Wisdom

You’re wiser

than you think.

From where you stand, you can see the path(but you’re not the one who has to reach)

2. Vulnerability

This doesn’t work if you’re

perfect

You’re going to get your hands dirty(and you could both end up pretty bloody)

3. Time + Quality

Not just quality

time

Anything is better than nothing(but don’t forget your anchor)
