I love that you are rebelling against the capitalist machine of consumption and taking back control in how you engage in the things you enjoy. Your revolution will not be televised ☺️!

You’re probably right—it was a panic attack. 🙂 But to say that no one from his era has anything to teach us? I disagree. As you say so eloquently, “The power arrived a few centuries early, and the wisdom [got] stuck in traffic.” We need his era’s wisdom on how to absent oneself from the acceleration for a few hours, if nothing else.

Your journals need their own space and story, so beautiful!!

This triggered a memory. When I was a college freshman in the Days of Yore (1960), I had a classmate who claimed that he used to visit Pound at St. Elizabeth’s. He seemed pretty believable, so I was at least semi-impressed.

this is the coolest idea ever!! i am in love with your writing (you are so funny)

my fav quote: "no chance in snowy evening hell. That’s a road I ain’t taking."

this is inspiring me to do more deep dives and rabbit holes, i loved learning about something completely random, but also terribly relevant!
