TIP ONE: ASK DEEP QUESTIONS
A deep question asks someone about their values, beliefs or experiences. Rather than asking someone about the facts of their life (“Where do you live?”) it asks how they feel about their life. (“What’s the best part of where you live?”) Studies show that people love answering deep questions, because it gives us a chance ... See more

“An artist has got to be careful never really to arrive at a place where he thinks he’s AT somewhere. You always have to realize that you’re constantly in a state of becoming. And, as long as you can stay in that realm you’ll sort of be alright.”
— Bob Dylan
If I sense the things of this earth not as a resources but as sources, if I feel them as wellsprings bubbling out of the unknown depths, well, this is not to deny that many of those springs seem to be drying up.

Coming to Our Animal Senses: A Conversation with David Abram
If I believe my inner world is an “ecology” and social media’s algorithms are “incursions” and “extractive”—then I have to think hard about my own part in sustaining the fragile space of my attention, a place I’ve been cultivating with great care all these years.

Desire Lines

usage. There are other names for them: social trails, pirate paths, cow paths,
donkey paths, goat tracks, elephant trails, and doubtless more. They appear where
people repeatedly choose to walk, and usually signify a route from A to B that is
quicker or more easily navigated than the formal path provided (see Figure 1.1

because there was a better way. Or perhaps there’s no path at all. Desire lines
can show the mismatch between what a designer thinks best and what people
actually prefer. They also speak of a sense of local knowledge, where local people
see better routes than those by designers or planners. The symbolism seems apt
for a book about putting local people at the centre of the design process, and
allowing their needs and wishes to shape development.” (Malone, 2018, p.4)
