I think what it means is that central to living
a life that is good is a life that’s forgiving.
We’re creatures of contact, regardless of whether

I started taking cake decorating classes outside of school that first year because I was determined to get good at something. If it wasn’t paintings, then maybe cakes. I ended up with the cakes that I had completed at the end of the class and I would bring them to my critiques. I loved the response. It was the response I wanted when someone looked at one of my paintings hanging on the wall. As...

Red, in most plants, comes from anthocyanins, a class of red and purple pigments that puts the color in apples, grapes and eggplants, and make roses red and violets blue.

The Map and the Territory, or why I love Michel...
Lately, mostly, I struggle through the first fifty or so pages of books hoping to find something to connect with, to resonate inside of my large head.
