The Long Spoon
Table settings are one of my pet peeves. Don’t get me wrong, i’m happy to eat off a tray in front of the TV with a spork most evenings, I’ve happily sat in the mud eating rice off a banana leaf with my fingers. But if you are going to do a formal table setting do it properly with style and simplicity.
The above image appeared in another blog yesterday and got me thinking. At...

buongiorno:
I was reading Twombly and Rauschenberg were once lovers before Rauschenberg and Johns. I found a link to a photo of Cy (nickname by his father after Cyclone Young, a pitcher for Chicago white sox back in the day) in Rome by this statue that was taken by Rauschenberg. He looked very handsome but of course I can only find the thumb.

You are so young, so much before all beginning, and I would like to beg you, dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign tongue. Do not search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live...

Fall in love with the process and the results will follow. You’ve got to want to act more than you want to be an actor. You’ve got to want to do whatever you want to do more than you want to be whatever you want to be, want to write more than you want to be a writer, want to heal more than you want to be a doctor, want to teach more than you want to be a teacher, want to serve more...
An Olive Branch
We usually hang a tree branch to celebrate the end of the year, this year I cut some wild olive from the garden. Its already tomorrow, and Summer here in Australia.

I hope that you are a disaster. I’m sorry, but I do. I hope that you are thunder and lightning. I hope you are a forest fire, I hope you kill the dead wood and burn off the rotting leaves. With the canopy gone, the sun can get in. You need new growth. I hope you’re terrible and broken and perfect.

(Stereoscope photo from 1906)
A wealthy film director is spending £40 million to build an exact replica of the Taj Mahal in Bangladesh, but Indian officials are trying to block its constructing, claiming the Taj Mahal, which was completed in 1653 is protected by copyright.
For their part, Bangladeshi officials are incensed by suggestions that the Taj Mahal - which was built by the Emperor Shah...
