Bayard Rustin, a euphoric Egypt, Vik, Islamic tile, carrot soup, Tinkers, the pacifying tree.


1. I was reminded of this inspiring man, Bayard Rustin, featured on the State of the Reunion program on National Public Radio. A gay man who was a pacifist, an essential ingredient in the Civil Rights movement. Extraordinary. Why did we not learn about him in high school?

2. A euphoric Egypt! Bless them!


3. I love
Vik Muniz: witty, inspiring, genius.

4. I have been looking at Islamic tile design.

5.
For dinner in the coming week… carrot soup.

6. A book that I am reading now…. Tinkers by Paul Harding.

7. The pacifying tree. Beautiful, poetic, funny, nostalgic for childhood via the lovely Camilla Engman .
