I just rediscovered a book that I first read over 30 years ago:

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance by Robert M Pirsig

There is a great discussion on a word that I thinks drives most photographers - GUMPTION!

"I like the word “gumption” because it’s so homely and so forlorn and so out of style it looks as if it needs a friend and isn’t likely to reject anyone who comes along. It’s an old Scottish word, once used a lot by pioneers, but which like “kin”, seems to have all but dropped out of use. I like it also because it describes exactly what happens to someone who connects with Quality. He gets filled with gumption.

The Greeks called it enthousiasmos, the root of the word “enthusiasm”, which means literally “filled with theos”, or God, or Quality. See how it fits?"

May you always be filled with "theos"
