1. being a dad 2. hiking barefoot by moonlight & renaming constellations 3. conversing with trees & counting clouds 4. finding my groove with the invisible flow 5. exploring ruins & places off the beaten track 6. stretching my soul with nuanced, intricate music, language, art, & film 7. savoring the scent of old books 8. playing with curious beasts 9. adventurous, benignant, & sustainable engagement with people, food, drink, & life (or maybe just Khao Soi, Thai hot+...lol) 10. left open for future consideration

feeling xtra nostalgic this week… so here are my 4 based on this week’s lens: • Space-Time and Beyond by Bob Toben & Fred Alan Wolf, a hand-me-down from an old friend of Mom’s when i was little, one of my many childhood gateway texts • Onibaba directed by Kaneto Shindō, haunting, elemental, existential, a stark reflection of human instincts and humanity without artifice • The Prisoner, a show my father loved, weekend reruns that will always stay with me, philosophical, allegorical, rebellious • John Coltrane, A Love Supreme, lights my soul, meditative, brilliant, love how it strives beyond intellectual articulation

Throw Momma is such a clever homage to Strangers! in Strangers, Walker’s brilliant performance paired with Hitchcock’s meticulous mise en scène and choreography makes Bruno feel almost quasi-supernatural. another standout, Pat Hitchcock, reminds me of Shadow of a Doubt (also a fav). 🎥
Bruno reaches for the lighter, as if his will bends reality. Strangers on a Train (1951)
