Alma Whittaker naît avec le XIXe siècle, à Philadelphie, d’un père anglais dont le talent de botaniste et la roublardise lui ont permis de faire fortune dans le commerce du quinquina et d’une mère qui tient de sa famille de l’Hortus Botanicus d’Amsterdam une formidable érudition ainsi qu’une rigueur…

A BEAUTIFUL DEFENSE OF WRITING WITHOUT THE PROMISE OF REWARD…
Dear Ones -
I met this author, Torre de Roche, last week in Australia, and she gave me a copy of her terrific memoir LOVE WITH A CHANCE OF DROWNING.
Then I found this blog post of hers, about how it took her eight years to write her book — with absolutely no assurance of any sort of good outcome — and why that sort of dedicated creative labor is totally worth it.
This is right on the money, you guys, and very inspiring.
For all who are working quietly alone out there (or who are about to try) this one's for you:

Still half way through but I´ve already fallen in love with Alma.

A last thought before I go to bed, happy and exhausted, in New Zealand. I just spent the evening with my sweet younger cousin Melissa (born in Minnesota, but now living here in the Southern Hemisphere) who made this offhand comment, which totally turned my head: "Whenever I waited around for life to happen to me, it never happened."
Now she's MAKING it happen. It's gorgeous to see.
Nothing makes me happier than seeing a brave young soul going after it.
ROCK ON, MELISSA. (And to all of you like-minded souls who finally got sick of waiting.)
Smiling on my way to sleep, filled with love…

Newsflash from Wellington, New Zealand.
THIS IS WHAT EATING SHOULD LOOK LIKE.
(It's not really a proper meal, people, unless everyone needs a bath at the end of it.)
A pile of seafood, a cluster of heavenly friends, and one pretty heavenly mojito later, my day is done.
Now, to sleep. See you tomorrow, NZ:
