Gingkos endured the1949 atomic blast of Hiroshima in Japan, and despite predictions that nothing would grow there for 75 years, the Gingkos fully recovered.

"You must have a room, or certain hour... where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation... If you have a sacred place and use it something eventually will happen.

     ~Joseph Campbell, The Power of Myth

 

"Find out who you are and do it on purpose."
