Senses working overtime #337

 1 Sculptures by Diego Cabezas

Promo for Paris 2024 and stunning use of the human upper body by Sadeck Waff and friends. Again courtesy of swissmiss (I am loving her frequent newsletters and teases).

3 I needed colour - Jim Carrey

I love Jim Carrey - the actor, and the artist and the person, especially the person.

4 Find a better way

I'm also an optimist. This is a great thing to view after the Carrey piece. Yes - swissmiss!

5 Reviews of Moby Dick (or The Whale)

Check out the original 1851 reviews!

...all these things combine to raise The Whale far beyond the level of an ordinary work of fiction. It is not a mere tale of adventures, but a whole philosophy of life, that it unfolds.

Overtime: 

"Nearly everything in life is unfavorable once it grows to a certain size.

It is entirely possible to have too many clients, too much work, too much fame, too much free time, and so on.

Pay attention to when the thing you're chasing exceeds its usefulness." (James Clear)

I love to walk. Turns out it's healthy for me. And it makes me happier! Who knew??

5 Advice from Uncle Seth

People don’t change

(Unless they want to)
Humans are unique in their ability to willingly change. We can change our attitude, our appearance and our skillset.
But only when we want to.
The hard part, then, isn’t the changing it. It’s the wanting it.

Overtime: Moonlanding
The media has been celebrating the Apollo 11 mission recently. Quite rightly too. Here's a great Vox summary.
