  1. With an estimated IQ between 250 and 300, William James Sidis could read The New York Times when he was just 18 months old. By the time he was six, he could speak multiple languages, including English, French, German, Russian, Hebrew, and Turkish. At one point, Sidis even invented a brand-new language of his own. He entered Harvard at age 11 and graduated at just 16, at which point many were convinced that Sidis was the smartest person who ever lived, and they were eager to see what he would do next. But despite his unparalleled intelligence, he had no interest in changing the world or staying in the limelight. Instead, Sidis told reporters, "I want to live the perfect life. The only way to live the perfect life is to live it in seclusion." And that's exactly what he did, taking on menial jobs to avoid drawing attention to himself, and ultimately dying penniless and alone.

  3. Quote of the day, 8 May: St. Elizabeth of the Trinity

    “Virgo fidelis”: that is, Faithful Virgin, “who kept all these things in her heart.” [Lk. 2:19] She remained so little, so recollected in God’s presence, in the seclusion of the temple, that she drew down upon herself the delight of the Holy Trinity: “Because He has looked upon the lowliness of His servant, henceforth all generations shall call me blessed!” [Lk. 1:48]

    The Father, bending down to this beautiful creature, who was so unaware of her own beauty, willed that she be the Mother in time of Him whose Father He is in eternity.

    Saint Elizabeth of the Trinity

  6. Seclusion rooms are still a thing in Canadian schools? I can’t even imagine the damage done to a disabled child placed in one of these rooms. The isolation, the fear, the lack of support … being made to feel like you’ve done something “wrong”. We need to do away with these ableist & harmful policies.

  8. The #city as #sensory #playground. Inside the #PeoplesPark looking out at #GrandParade. A pleasing sense of #enveloping green, abundant tree #canopy, and #enclosure (what is a park without enclosure?)
    Beyond the railings is bustling #GrandParade and the meetings of the ways, creating an #enveloped sense of #security and temporary #seclusion before returning to the busy-ness of the city.

  14. Packed and ready for a blissful week-long break in a secluded country cottage (where there's no telly and no Wi-Fi) quite near #Hexham ... away from all the #Christmas hullabaloo.

    Just us, our books, our crosswords, lots and lots and lots of walks, mince pies ... and maybe the odd glass of port.
