"I’ve always seen travel as a means of transformation. Part of its beauty involves not just leaving your home, but leaving far behind your habits and the self that you recognize at home. When you’re in a foreign place, you can’t define yourself in the ways you’re used to, and therefore there’s a chance to become a slightly different self." --Pico Iyer

In an age of speed nothing could be more invigorating than going slow. In an age of distraction, nothing can feel more luxurious than paying attention. And in an age of constant movement, nothing is more urgent than sitting still. #IyerPico #PicoIyer #TheArtOfStillness

Everything Half Known
“In the soul of man,” Herman Melville wrote, in one of his terrifying flights of prophecy in Moby-Dick, “there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life.” Cast off from that protected world, he’d gone on, and “thou canst never return!” But the h

A lovely read on #Kashmir, a paradise glimpsed and lost, from #PicoIyer, excerpted from his new book. The scent of cedars, wild iris and roses, women in bright clothes. https://lithub.com/surrounded-by-wonders-pico-iyer-in-kashmir/

Quitting
Quitting, for me, means not giving up, but moving on; Changing direction not because something doesn’t agree with you, but because you don’t agree with something. It’s not a complaint, in other words, but a positive choice, and not a stop in one’s journey, but a step in a better direction. Quitting—whether a job or a habit—means taking a turn so as to be sure you’re still moving in the direction of your dreams.

I've been really into Pico Iyer lately. I usually listen to an interview over the course of a day or two, as if it were a podcast.
I suppose I should share them here.
If this resonates with you, please get in touch. I feel very alone in my enjoyment of this.
