BRAIN FOOD:

“It is the stupidity of our minds that prevents us from seeing existence as a mystery wilder than the dream of Devil or God.

We stand before the throne of life sullen and dull. So blunt is the apprehension of most of us that we are content to spend our priceless and peculiar hours in a state of anesthesia put upon us by a fatal herd hypnotism.

Oh for a conversion, for a revelation to break up forever our trivial visions!”

Llewelyn Powys (via one of my favourite Substacks)

SOUL FOOD:

"It's not enough to be busy, so are the ants. The question is, what are we busy about?"

Henry David Thoreau

LOL:

Harrison Ford’s writing advice to George Lucas:

APPENDIX:

“Fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm fearsome, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. They leave that wisdom to those to whom it appeals. When the storm comes—when night falls—what’s worse: the danger or the fear of danger? Give me reality, the danger itself.”

Vincent Van Gogh

A.O.B.

That’s it for #116 amigo. Thank you for taking the time to read and I hope there was something in there for you.
