On Home
A house is more than just a shelter from the storm. How we shape our homes, and how we behave within them, speak volumes about our history, our values and our way of life. - New York Times
Living is the greatest art of all. - Alfred Stieglitz
On Consciousness and Freedom
But of course there are all different kinds of freedom, and the kind that is most precious you will not hear much talk about much in the great outside world of wanting and achieving. The really important kind of freedom involves attention and awareness and discipline, and being able truly to care about other people and to sacrifice for them over and over in myriad petty, unsexy ways every day.
That is real freedom. That is being educated, and understanding how to think. The alternative is unconsciousness, the default setting, the rat race, the constant gnawing sense of having had, and lost, some infinite thing.
David Foster Wallace, Commencement address at Kenyon College, Gambier, Ohio, May 21, 2005.

it’s funny since you mentioned them, I have been looking at flowers more and more
pretty. i want to go to trader joes and get those super cheap tulips.
Seeing your flowers on Fridays brightens my day. You have such a way with color and texture. I am inspired to try my hand at a bouquet sometime this rainy/snowy weekend (at least that’s the way it is where I am!)
