Live In It

“I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t think that progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it. Not just to endure it, not just to suffer it, not just to pass through it, but to live in it. To look at it. To try to get the picture. To live recklessly. To take chances. To make your own work and take pride in it. To seize the moment. And if you ask me why you should bother to do that, I could tell you that the grave’s a fine and private place, but none I think do there embrace. Nor do they sing there, or write, or argue, or see the tidal bore on the Amazon, or touch their children. And that’s what there is to do and get it while you can and good luck at it.”
― Joan Didion

Mykonos Mobile

My kids have heard me say many times that the only reason I would want to become rich for one day is so that I can own a real Calder Mobile. In the meantime, maybe this one will do?

I Was In Love With The City

“…quite simply, I was in love with New York. I do not mean “love” in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city, the way you love the first person who ever touches you and you never love anyone quite that way again. I remember walking across Sixty-second Street one twilight that first spring, or the second spring, they were all alike for a while. I was late to meet someone but I stopped at Lexington Avenue and bought a peach and stood on the corner eating it and knew that I had come out out of the West and reached the mirage.”
― Joan Didion

Don’t Be Afraid

This is lovely. Thank you for your gift, Gasta.

♥ / Caveday

A big thank you to Caveday for sponsoring my blog this week. (Whispers: Team CreativeMornings is huge fans of Caveday.)

What if we treated our work like a workout?

A trainer pushes us. Community gives us energy. Signing up ensures we’ll be there.

Caveday leads focus sessions 14x a day (and even some on the weekend). Members around the world shut out distractions and focus together… because phones aren’t allowed while working “in The Cave.”

The world’s most focused community is less than a dollar a day.

Get your work in shape this year with Caveday.
