Those of you who know me - know how much I love students!!!!

CCircle Opticshas innovated our recruitment approach by hosting our first Student Expo at NextCorps, moving beyond its traditional participation in job fairs. This selective event aimed to forge stronger connections with potential talent, inviting 13 co-op hopefuls for an exclusive peek into the company's technology and operations. Students shared positive feedback, highlighting the unique opportunity to engage with the team and learn about real-world applications of their studies. Circle Optics, Inc. sees this Student Expo as a step towards retaining talent in and fostering innovation within the local ecosystem.

Our Founder and CEO, Zak (Zakariya) Niazi, shared his enthusiasm about the event, stating, "It was a pleasure to host a bunch of bright minds from the University of Rochester and RIT tonight, in a fun and informal setting. Rochester is brimming with amazing talent that is gearing up for the industry."

Echoing this sentiment, COO Ian Gauger highlighted the invaluable role tertiary schools play in the region, describing them as "a real boon to the region and a primary contributor to the innovation seen in the area today."

FOR A NEW BEGINNING
by John O’Donohue

In out-of-the-way places of the heart,
Where your thoughts never think to wander,
This beginning has been quietly forming,
Waiting until you were ready to emerge.

For a long time it has watched your desire,
Feeling the emptiness growing inside you,
Noticing how you willed yourself on,
Still unable to leave what you had outgrown.

It watched you play with the seduction of safety
And the gray promises that sameness whispered,
Heard the waves of turmoil rise and relent,
Wondered would you always live like this.

Then the delight, when your courage kindled,
And out you stepped onto new ground,
Your eyes young again with energy and dream,
A path of plenitude opening before you.

Though your destination is not yet clear
You can trust the promise of this opening;
Unfurl yourself into the grace of beginning
That is at one with your life’s desire.

Awaken your spirit to adventure;
Hold nothing back, learn to find ease in risk;
Soon you will be home in a new rhythm,
For your soul senses the world that awaits you.

Happy New Year!

Information won't save us; poetry just might.

-“Blessings by David Whyte” on https://vimeo.com/639146289

I thank you,
for the smallest sound,
for the way my ears open
even before my eyes,
as if to remember
the way everything began
with an original, vibrant, note,
and I thank you for this
everyday original music,
always being rehearsed,
always being played,
always being remembered
as something new
and arriving, a tram line
below in the city street,
gull cries, or a ship’s horn
in the distant harbour,
so that in waking I hear voices
even where there is no voice
and invitations where
there is no invitation
so that I can wake with you
by the ocean, in summer
or in the deepest seemingly
quietest winter,
and be with you
so that I can hear you
even with my eyes closed,
even with my heart closed,
even before I fully wake.

Blessings by David Whyte Poet David Whyte in collaboration with filmmaker Andrew Hinton and composer Owen Ó Súilleabháin. Poem text and context: https://www.themarginalian.org/2021/10/26/david-whyte-blessings/ Film…
