1 Boxing day
Is when this edition came out. What is boxing day all about?
2 Boxing day also signifies that Christmas is over for another year
The giving of presents, the eating of food you wouldn't normally eat, the family connections, the decorations, the Christmas movies, the twinkling light displays, and the opportunity for some selfish time...all gone.
Watching this 5-minute cut of never-before-seen footage from Peter Jackson’s The Beatles: Get Back, I thought of the beginning of Kurt Vonnegut’s Timequake:
5 Ingvar Kamprad, the founder of IKEA, on the value of timeI say in speeches that a plausible mission of artists is to make people appreciate being alive at least a little bit. I am then asked if I know of any artists who pulled that off. I reply, “The Beatles did.”
“You can do so much in ten minutes’ time. Ten minutes, once gone, are gone for good. Divide your life into 10-minute units and sacrifice as few of them as possible in meaningless activity."
Overtime: Seth Godin on the year that was 20202020 was a terrible year for too many people. So much trauma, dislocation and illness. Everyone has their own stories, and everyone suffered (unevenly and unfairly) from the extraordinary shifts in our lives.
And yet, seeds were planted. Five or ten or twenty years from now, people will remember projects that were started, connections that were established, realizations that occurred. Doors were opened, babies were born and changes were made.
Few people celebrate forest fires, but we’re all eager to walk through the sylvan glades that follow.
If you were kept from planting all the seeds you hoped to in 2020, that’s okay. Because the best time to plant more seeds is always right now. Or perhaps tomorrow.

The greatest band of all time are ALWAYS interesting to read about. Nuff said.
