Author: Beryl Markham

Note to self.
Self, go to library and check out copy of West With The Night. Must read more of this:
I have learned that if you must leave a place that you have lived in and loved and where all your yesterdays are buried deep—leave it any way except a slow way, leave it the fastest way you can. Never turn back and never believe that an hour you remember is a better hour because it is dead. Passed years seem safe ones, vanquished ones, while the future lives in a cloud, formidable from a distance.

by Beryl Markham from West With The Night

Article: The Case for Working With Your Hands

I like this. I like this a lot.

The organization had taken certain positions, and there were some facts it was more fond of than others. As its figurehead, I was making arguments I didn’t fully buy myself. Further, my boss seemed intent on retraining me according to a certain cognitive style — that of the corporate world, from which he had recently come. This style demanded that I project an image of rationality but not indulge too much in actual reasoning.

from the nytimes.

Book: Flesh and Blood by Michael Cunningham

Flesh and Blood is about the importance of people's actions on others and how their convinced belief of unimportance fucks it all up; or in other words, "Damn you Michael Cunningham for making me cry all fucking day."
