love this photo of Thich Nhat Hanh holding a sunflower while standing in a field in southwest France, early 1980s. love how he invited/invites us to “see the universe in a sunflower,” drawing on his time in this region known for its sunflowers

Somewhere someone is traveling furiously toward you,
At incredible speed, traveling day and night,
Through blizzards and desert heat...

“Sometimes you don’t survive whole, you just survive in part. But the grandeur of life is that attempt. It’s not about that solution. It is about being as fearless as one can, and behaving as beautifully as one can.” — Toni Morrison on the Connecticut Forum

I'm really taken with Ari Banias's work. Every line as a ray of slanted light, playing with the reader to unfold new vision— a staircase of changing shades of sorrow, of joy... ♥️

We're heartbroken to hear that truly singular performer Michael K. Williams has passed away.

We're remembering him and his galvanizing spirit by revisiting his trip to our films closet back in March 2011. ❤️
