I’ll get there soon

Give yourself time to learn something new and good, and cease to be whirled around.

—Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

Disingenuous and insulting. Te tracking and selling of our data just for reading a website has got to stop.

“O my soul, Do not aspire to an immortal life, but exhaust the limits of the possible”

– Pindar Pythian III

The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

– Emily Dickinson

“It is not down in any map; true places never are.”

—Herman Melville, MOBY-DICK

Interesting conversation at micro.blog about what people use to take notes. Me? 

• Handwriting in notebooks (usually Field Notes™)
• Marginalia in books 
• Plain text notes on the computer
• Voice recordings notes in .mp3 format (the plain text of audio) 
• Begrudgingly- Bear Notes and Apple Notes

I want my notes to be future-proof and platform-agnostic.

Domesticated animal or wild predator? If you’re a stuck-at-home person, you may be considered as a domesticated herd animal. If you prefer to be out in the real world then you may consider yourself a wild predator, untamed.

This pandemic has me feeling more and more like a domesticated herd animal and less a feral, wild, untamed animal and I don’t like it.

Now I know what a predator in a zoo feels like and one can empathize.

What is your book budget?

My three rules about existing as a hobbyist artist/photographer:

• Just keep making pictures.
• Your work will be seen when it’s ready to be seen.
• Network gracefully.
