Little adventurer

[Maria Popova @themarginalian]

On this day in 1962, not knowing she had just sparked the modern environmental movement with her book Silent Spring, knowing she was dying, Rachel Carson addressed a graduating class of young people with her abiding wisdom on how to change the world. It is still the best, most precise advise it is not too late for us to take: https://t.co/PyH3NBoy64

There is no defence for supporting the utter greed of an individual with a trillion dollars while there is poverty in this world. None.

I have retreated to a cabin by the sea to read, garden, walk and read. I have never felt more alive.

David Hockney
Rip!

[Mark Williamson @markrwilliamson]

“I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden…I can find excitement, I admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.”

RIP David Hockney

I want well-crafted cocktails, I want style and atmosphere, some jazz or blues and people with stories.
Ghosts optional.

Daily sustenance: garden, writing, dreaming. Sometimes writing or dreaming in the garden. Or dreaming about writing. Or writing about dreams.

Morning, you strap on an aspiration to avoid being a purposeless form weeping for inclusion. Night, you toss it to remember yourself.

I’ve been saving a lot of lamps the last few years.

Rediscovering things that bring me joy. Music, afternoon sun, being one with the garden. Perfume and flowers, pasta and cocktails. Fuck you, burnout.
