From Austin Kleon’s ‘Show Your Work!’
My brother sent this to me: I Miss My Bar.
“I am calling you for a poetic consultation,” said a warm voice on the telephone. “It all starts with a very simple question: How are you?”
Brad Montague’s delightful video The Dumpster Fire and the Garden.
“For all the most important things, the timing always sucks. The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up all the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. ‘Someday’ is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you…If it’s important to you and you want to do it ‘eventually’ just do it and correct course along the way.”
