Motivation

Inspiration, collaboration, consolation.

Indignation, elation, transformation.

All of these are cognates in French and English,

and are also linked to this winter and Chicago.

Whether lacking in or being in abundance of any of these 'tion' words, remember 'tis best to moderate or over indulge, there is no in-between. 

“Tout ce qui est nouveau est par ce fait automatiquement traditionnel” as inspired by Godard's Bande à Part from T.S. Eliot's quotation from his essay Tradition and the Individual Talent. "Everything that is new is automatically traditional"

Can we then say that everything that is familiar is automatically modern?

Perhaps with enough motivation, even this can be argued.

Loungers and ne’er do wells take heed,

Activity and movement is your feed.
