Slowing Down Summer Again.

Slow living… making sure I move at a human pace… is something I really do try to do. It’s so countercultural, though, it can feel strange to say ‘No, I won’t do that, because I have other stuff on and I don’t want to be overloaded.’

“going to be the cry for a lot of things “It’s not like it should be”, “It’s just not the same” No, but it is how it is. This is normal for this year, and only time will tell if this is the New Normal, or a glitch in service that we will look back on fondly. The question is: how do we respond to this loss in service? Do we sit and moan that we can’t have an authentic continental Christmas afternoon, in the cold, spending money, or do we do our best to recreate the essence of that experience with some food, some drink and possibly a friend to chat to, online or in real life. The experience we have this year depends on our willingness to create it, either as close to the original as possible or in spirit alone.”
Jo Kneale, Celebrating a Contagious Christmas: Spread Hope, not Germs, in 2020

“My library is an archive of longings.”
Susan Sontag, As Consciousness is Harnessed to Flesh: Journals and Notebooks, 1964-1980

“I'd rather sing one wild song and burst my heart with it, than live a thousand years watching my digestion and being afraid of the wet.”
Jack London, The Turtles of Tasman

“Lock up your libraries if you like; but there is no gate, no lock, no bolt that you can set upon the freedom of my mind.”
Virginia Woolf, A Room of One’s Own

“Be reverent before the dawning day. Do not think of what will be in a year, or in ten years. Think of to-day.”
Romain Rolland, Jean-Christophe, Vol. 1

“Child, child, do you not see? For each of us comes a time when we must be more than what we are.”
Lloyd Alexander, The Black Cauldron
