a world of loveliness
“I am sure it is a great mistake always to know enough to go in when it rains. One may keep snug and dry by such knowledge, but one misses a world of loveliness.”

“I’ve got a problem with procrastination. And it’s especially bad now, because I’ve got this opportunity to write for a music magazine. The thing is… I know what I should be doing: reaching out to bands, doing interviews, networking with new bands before they get big. I know that it’s going to involve hustling every single day. And I hope this doesn’t make me sound like a loser, but I have trouble getting revved up on any given day to start down the path.”
“Can I give one piece of advice?”
“Sure.”
“Instead of focusing on the million things you need to do to be successful, focus on two or three things you can do to move forward each day. The quickest way out of paralysis is a simple daily routine.”

hanging air plant pod in blue-green by mudpuppy
mudpuppy’s planters (or pods, as they call them) come with a free air plant for US orders — sweet! they have neutral ivory versions, but i love the blue-green ombre glaze on this one.

I am lonely, yet not everybody will do. I don’t know why, some people fill the gaps but other people emphasize my loneliness.

X-Ray Art
According to artist Nick Veasey, these days everything’s about image. Our society is completely obsessed with it. Whether it’s how we look, where we live, or how we dress, image is all that matters. “I like to challenge this automatic way that we react to just physical appearance by highlighting the, often surprising, inner beauty,” he says. This explains the essence of his striking X-ray photographs.
In the image above of passengers sitting on a bus, it’s interesting, if slightly morbid, to learn that everyone on the bus is actually the same person – and that person is a dead body, moved around and posed by an undertaker.
Yet they are captivating images that highlight the inner beauty and details often overlooked during daily routine activities. The bus image proved so mesmerizing that it had to be removed from billboards, where it was used as part of an advertising campaign, because it proved too distracting for drivers.

I often joke that my favorite music involves a bearded man singing about his feelings with an acoustic guitar while a woman from Portland plays the cello. Only a vanishingly tiny percentage of my favorite bands actually fit that bill — it’s basically Horse Feathers, Blind Pilot, and a couple others — but the description opens a window to a style that often speaks to me.
