Do you still laugh sometimes? Do you know how to lose yourself completely all over again in a moment of elemental joy—because of a view of houses, a human atmosphere, a song, a bit of landscape, a piece of film: in short a piece of good warm life? It’s something I love so much in you.
[Simone Weil, from a letter to Albertine Thévenon]

my mom bought for us to do together while I’m home:

3. Planet Earth, Mountains (a beautiful Himalayan photo, all blues and whites, 1000 pieces)
2. New York City, glow-in-the-dark, three feet wide
1. Mythic Mazes: The Escape from Alcatraz.

It’s going to be a good summer.
