“Creativity and ego cannot go together. If you free yourself from the comparing and jealous mind, your creativity opens up endlessly. Just as water springs from a fountain, creativity springs from every moment. You must not be your own obstacle. You must not be owned by the environment you are in. You must own the environment, the phenomenal world around you. You must be able to freely move in and out of your mind. This is being free. There is no way you can’t open up your creativity. There is no ego to speak of.”
— Jeong Kwan
I have watched Jeong Kwan’s Chef’s Table episode three times over the last year. She is so calming, wise, and inspirational.
I made Samin Nosrat’s speedy and delicious spinach and cilantro soup for lunch today. I prefer it a little thicker so I use one cup less stock and start with less salt since my stock is already seasoned. If you have some leftover rice in your fridge add that to your bowl…
The Everlane Perform Bra is my new favorite…
I’ve been reading Big Ideas for Curious Minds with my son and it is wonderful. It’s from the folks at School of Life who do such great stuff…
It is filled with important little essays and delightful drawings and is equally appropriate for adults with things like ‘Learn to Say What’s on Your Mind’…
And ‘Why it’s Hard to Know What to Do With Your Life’…
Pomofocus is a cool tool.
And I think this shirt is made for me…
