today’s session at Wild Goose Festival was fantastic
Saturday’s 4pm conversation on art as a spiritual practice will explore the spiraling nature of creativity and the spiritual life through the framework of
belonging > becoming > beholding > bestowing
join us!
(and I’ll have good snacks!)

I failed to take notes on something and now I can't remember where I saw/heard/read about it
what I think I saw/heard/read was a story of a writer(?) or (artist(?) as a teenager(?) being dropped off at the Rothko Chapel in the morning and picked up in the afternoon
help?
did I dream it?

they obviously didn’t read the description because this was their takeaway after reading The Great Belonging…
“Book by mentally ill religious fanatic”
“I don't want to hear about her musing for her mental illness or her religious beliefs. I found the book useless and threw it away.”

highly recommend adding a rolling hospital table thing to your bedroom setup because it’s convenient AND it provides another spot for piles of books
(also currently watching a lecture by Alexander Nemerov)

I’m finding some hope right now in music, a global resource for communication, inspiration and plain old happiness. I don’t like the phrase “universal language” bc it’s inaccurate but the urge to make and enjoy music is global and we can all learn from sharing it. Support the music makers.

Adrienne Rich, on “the idea of a lifelong commitment of self to art”—out of the Foreword to Clayton Eshleman’s Companion Spider: Essays (Wesleyan UP, 2001). To remember: we are all “novices.”
