Join 📚 Josh Beckman's Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Josh's read, .
I have watched death as it happens, and I have watched birth. What I learned is that neither are discrete events. They are both processes, things that unfold. Birth is a series of awakenings, and death is a series of sleepenings. My son will take years to be born, and my father took six months to die. Some people spend decades dying.
When you see the world as magical, it meets you as a magical place.
Dispatches From Childhood
Simon Sarris
From the point of view of relationshps which appears in the design, it is more *useful* to call the kitchen sink a “center” than a whole. If I call it a whole, it then exists in my mind as an isolated object. But if I call it a center, it already tells me something extra; it creates a sense, in my mind, of the way the sink is going to work *in* the kitchen […] It makes the sink feel more like a thing which radiates out, extends beyon its own boundaries, and takes its part in the kitchen as a whole.
