weekly Go Flip Yourself

• the royal society impact

• long lasting cultural impact

An ode to magazines:

• you're entering a universe that's only there

• convey a feeling, an amplitude, a point of view

• it's an opportunity for meaning-making

• what if Taylor Swift has a magazine?

• all this is hard (an essay, a song) it takes time

• the inward search for emotional truth; connecting with the source -- it's not about the money

• doing it for yourself is underrated these days

• celebrate the source, the art

• a deeper definition of music journalism: to do that well means: really caring; be in it; in that scene

first time i read something that - I feel - describe so well my own relationship with Mathilde, met at 17, and together for 18 years (and counting)

In addition to physical exercise and my family fondness, walking remains important to me as an emblem of the sacredness of life. Humans think. Human feel. Humans move. 

We encounter others in our walks. The world – nature, cities, streams, forests – unfolds underfoot. Walking remains a primary way we go beyond ourselves.
