“In the desert you celebrate nothing but water.” Stayed with me. And I am thinking what books to re-read.
I might start with this one
dear jim,
thanks for sharing these quotes as always! some of my faves this week:
Ali Smith:
“We’d never expect to understand a piece of music on one listen, but we tend to believe we’ve read a book after reading it just once.”
“Happy is what you realize you are a fraction of a second before it’s too late.”
Junot Díaz:
“But if these years have taught me anything it is this: you can never run away. Not ever. The only way out is in.”
“The whole culture is telling you to hurry, while the art tells you to take your time. Always listen to the art.”
thank you!
much love

Excellent collection this week.
Love this quote by Scarlett Thomas: “People make events into stories. Stories give events meaning.”
It goes perfectly with my Spark today storytelling.
From the moment we’re born, our brains are wired to find meaning through stories—it’s how we make sense of the world and our experiences.
I’d love to hear your thoughts on how stories impact your life.
