All of the effort in the world will not yield results in the wrong environment.

If you’re running into a wall— the same wall— then running into it harder won’t fix anything.

We have lots of visitors come through. Sometimes I just want to grab them by the cheeks, shake them and say “You could be so good!”

A few days ago, shared a succinct and profound thought. He said,

“Jiu Jitsu Competition: Finite
Jiu Jitsu Practice: Infinite”

Professor Liera’s words reminded me of one of my favorite poems by Bertolt Brecht. Although he was probably aiming at something different, Brecht’s poem nonetheless describes (and anchors!) the way that I understand community-creation, team-building, collaboration, and the process of giving oneself over and over and over again to the people and practices that you love.

Anyways, here’s Brecht:

How long
Do works endure? As long
As they are not completed.
Since as long as they demand effort
They do not decay.

Inviting further work
Repaying participation
Their being lasts as long as
They invite and reward.

Useful works
Require people
Artistic works
Have room for art
Wise works
Require wisdom

Those devised for completeness
Show gaps
The long-lasting
Are always about to crumble
Those planned on a really big scale
Are unfinished.
Still imperfect
Like a wall awaiting the ivy (It was once unfinished
Long ago, before the ivy came; bare).

Still short-lived
Like a machine that is used
But is not good enough
But gives promise of a better model
Work for endurance must
Be built like
A machine full of shortcomings.
