Well, here it is, December 1st, and it finally has done it's trick. The thing that I had hoped to have happen during the previous 11 has finally snapped something in my brain. (hopefully not in a bad way)
The quote is from Ezra Pound and the title of one of his books in 1935, "Make It New." Which of course I had no idea when I picked the quote all those months ago who Ezra was or that "Make It New" was a book. I just liked the quote.
Make it New
It can mean to take the ordinary (or in the case of Scott Ginsberg's presentation, the rare), and make it spectacular.
It can mean to take what once was and modernize it for today's world
It can mean to go back in your mind and remember all those ideas you had once upon a time, dig out the things you are interested in, appreciate, want to be involved with, enjoy or whatever and make those things happen. I'm kinda goin with this one for now.
I am glad the quote comes up in December. After all, January 1st is when we do those traditional New Year's resolution things which we often come up with the day before while we think of partying and champagne drinking (but I digress).
With the quote hitting home a month early, there is time to work it, get the details, ideas, plans, inspirations and the like and work with them prior to just jumping in on the 1st of the year.
So what will you make new?
