In each age, men of genius undertake the ascent. From below, the world follows them with their eyes. These men go up the mountain, enter the clouds, disappear, reappear. People watch them, mark them. They walk by the side of precipices. They daringly pursue their road. See them aloft, see them in the distance; they are but black specks. On they go. The road is uneven, its difficulties constant. At each step, a wall, at each step a trap. As they rise the cold increases. They must make their ladder, cut the ice and walk on it, hewing the steps in haste. A storm is raging. Nevertheless they go forward in their madness. The air becomes difficult to breathe. The abyss yawns below them. Some fall. Others stop and retrace their steps; there is a sad weariness. The bold ones continue. They are eyed by the eagles; the lightning plays about them: the hurricane is furious. No matter, they persevere.

Appreciation, Inspiration and Humility
Thanking you for your humility; grace and trust.
Through your courageous work as co-creator of the CCC experience, the inspiration is flowing for the discerning and defining of the new kind of leadership that we touched, trusted and experienced in transformations as we collectively worked and connected with each other in Leiden.
May we all embrace each other and move forward according to our own individual and shared connected pathways . . .
Much love,
Christine
