Some Brainstorming on Strength

“One could let all these facts and things lie alongside each other like laminations, not like growing cells. This laminated knowledge produced a powerful sense of freedom, truthfulness and even selflessness, [...] She sensed that the idea of lamination could provide both a model of conduct and an aesthetic that might suit herself and prove fruitful. It would, she decided, as in the event it did, take years to work out in the implications” (209-210). A. S. Byatt, The Virgin in the Garden

M,
I love you, but I think you have idealized desks. Life is beautiful now--a desk isn't going to help that. A desk might make you feel more productive/successful, but it won't solve any problems, you know.
Or maybe I just talked myself out of that answer. I don't know. Don't listen to me--I have no idea what I'm talking about!
I think you've inspired me to start my own blog, though. I'm not really liking Facebook, but I do like some aspect of having an online presence. I'd look forward to talking to you about this sometime.
I hope you're having a good day!
I love all of these. I think having a lovely space, a beautiful desk, etc. makes a big difference! You have to feel invited to come work...
