I have taken up the project of creating business cards
with images I've taken that I find to be satisfying,  
like this one, with the following inscription on the back:

Original Nature. Innate Virtues.
Intrinsic Intuition.
Balance. Harmony.
Integrity. Sincerity. Spontaneity.
Emptiness. Stillness. Silence.
Imagination. Reflection. Realization.
Compassion. Generosity. Kindness

I hand these out to people I have interaction with during the day whom I intuit to be capable of benefiting from time spent with the card, with the following instructions:
"See what connections you can make between yourself, the photograph, and the terms. And explore those connections to see where they might lead."

I have printed sets of fifty different images, which amounts to my top 50 favorite photographs to date at work somewhere in the world. It comes down to my response to the instruction to
"cast your bread upon the waters," and to "do your work and step back, let nature take its course."

Which I take to be better than letting them grow old on an external hard drive in a cardboard box on the bottom of the closet in my office.
