‘Nite, peeps.
Books and tea? Check.
Music? Eh—sultry early Baroque, so long as the smoldering doesn’t set off the smoke detectors. 🔥
Ignore the messy drama that comes later and lean into some exquisite dissonance. 🎭

I have a deep belief that we encounter what we might call the eternal if we encounter it at all -- minute by minute, in ordinary experiences. The angelic is all around us, in ordinary people; it's up to us to figure out that what seems ordinary is in fact divine.

Shelley Roden and i spent a fascinating long afternoon with Bart Hopkin and his wife Sally Davis. they are both artists and creators who have done a lot of amazing things. check out his website where his practice of creating original instruments can be explored.
