treasure hunt through the university library stacks to track down these beautiful & humbly bound Arthur Sze books.

“To feel, at thirty, you have come this far— / to see a bell over a door as a bell /
over a door, to feel the care and precision / of this violin is no mistake,”

[Daniel @thisdjr]

Welp.

With poetry comes range, contradiction, confusion, & thus clarity.

While cross-country skiing this morning, Dr. Karp decided to launch a new program: The Neurodivergent Fellowship.

If you find yourself relating to him in this video — unable to sit still, or thinking faster than you can speak — we encourage you to apply.

The final round of interviews will be conducted by Dr. Karp personally.

Application link coming soon.

Thank you and good luck.
