Not sleeping again, this morning listening to Ezra Klein interview Ruth Ozeki. There were so many ideas that were intriguing but this especially, Ozeki describes books as being a rhizomatic network, meaning that they talk to each other. This is something I believe, something I know. No thinking required. So many things do this...including the things we make.
A few days ago, the podcast of choice was Jerry Colonna and Krista Tippet, On Being:
There’s this notion of Carl Jung, the psychiatrist — ”I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become.” And the focus of your energy and your vocation is how that manifests in leadership and at work. I think it’s really important that you acknowledge that — that work gives us means to create the safety upon which our lives depend; that it feeds and shelters us and those we love; that work can give meaning, but work can also be a means of our suffering. And in fact, without self-knowledge, work — which most of us struggle with; it’s not like that’s ever complete — that work is a place that we play out and replay what has happened to us…. Krista Tippet
I now have two more books checked out, two on hold, and two more on my wish list.
This is why I never catch up with my reading.
