For the detail-obsessed art lover. Explorations from museums, exhibits, couture, and gardens into the hidden geographies revealed when we get extremely close.

Get very close to a work of art...
so close we lose awareness of the whole
and are deep within the jungle of details.
In this new geography, we can experience "new eyes."
"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes." -Marcel Proust

Maybe clutter is more dangerous than we think.
Maybe it makes us sick.
In her Field Guide (download free at https://t.co/tBHF7afVG6), Tasha writes about the importance of our "ecologies" to our health and well-being.
My education thesis was on student and institutional cluttering, and, as I look around today at how much stuff floods our lives, I'm wondering how this is impacting us.

On January 17, 2024, The Kennedy Center live-streamed this in-depth discussion about the arts improving our health and well-being. NeuroArts Blueprint, an initiative of the @AspenInstitute and Johns Hopkins Medicine hosted. https://t.co/RZByiEdfDi

This combustible mixture of ignorance and power, sooner or later, is going to blow up in our faces 🧠

@jspector @peter_osborne Practicing a daily ritual of gratefulness, greeting others in the community, reporting the steps I took toward incremental improvement from the day before…and more. 1st time I’ve ever followed a holistic morning ritual (not just work out and dietary) that I report on daily.

@StevenB17412028 @RobotJunkyard72 @historyinmemes You wouldn’t believe all the little details of preparing a word and art mark for trademark back in 1971. Today, it’s a relative breeze. Then, it was hours just preparing the finished piece - not including the fussing with design details before she even got to the final.

Pick a comedian and study their act.

You'll learn SO much that will help you as a creative entrepreneur.

For example:

1. How they grab attention with a setup and pay it off with a punchline.

2. How precise they are with their choice of words.

@jspector The great Russian comic Misha Usov holds the attention of 5000+ at performance after performance, night after night - and you’re right, great comics and clowns have secrets

@johnealyjr I always enjoy meals at Zelda's on the Beach every day when I visit Capitola. Was there Christmas Eve and the day after Christmas and the sunsets were extraordinary from the patio. I'm so grateful that you will reopen - Zelda's and #Capitola are places of beauty and joy!
