That day we set a world record

Tuesday was a big day here in Chapel Hill.

608 people helped set a world record (*and I can officially mark off my biggest goal for the year!). UNC is very proud to have set the world record for the longest spoon train!

Thanks David and all the dear friends for doing this.

Together a lot is possible.

Warmer days

Warmer days are coming. . .

“Always there comes an hour when one is weary of one’s work and devotion to duty, and all one craves for is a loved face, the warmth and wonder of a loving heart.” – Albert Camus

Necessity Defense of Institutional Memory

 

So the free may remain free

say the nightmare is
the dream

so we are preserved

he who believes takes a life

so a life may be saved

the girl becomes an object

so the greatest devastation occurs

let go her fingers    their slim cleave

so I may be replaced
by a machine    which in its violence    behaves
more like me

the longer you live    the more these lies
come alive

so the past splits in two:

one stays in the past and dies

one past shapeshifts    walks with you. – Camille Rankine

Craving

These days, I’m craving. . .Long hours in the hot sun. I cannot seem to get warm these days and I long for sand, water, and blinding sun.

Thinking lots about Kathmandu// the Green School//Key West too!

Most of this morning was spent in the company of good friends + good food. When it’s cold out at least there are always friends + food inside.

“One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well.” – Virginia Woolf

Happy Saturday. Eat well. Rest. Discover something new.
