As Annie Dillard so aptly said, 'how you live your days is how you live your life.' I had a moment of reckoning when a colleague was talking about what she'd do when she retired - that retirement was at that point 30 years away. What part of that would you do now, I asked. And I've now spent my days since then answering that question for myself.
This is probably the most memorable piece I've read this week, if not this past month. I've had similar thoughts, but I've never been able to put them into words. I get the feeling that so many people are living unhappy lives without ever having taken the time to step back.
This is powerful stuff. What important questions you've asked - are we using ai to help us or is ai using us? are we in our life now or some imagined version? Thank you.
Your writing always seems to find me right when I need it. Thank you for the reminder.
Need to come back to this post as a reminder❤️
Brilliant read, live first, the photos will come later…I wrote something on this as well:
Enzo wanted it to be used.
Not shelved
not worshipped behind glass.
Dante warned of those
who clutch too tightly.
Drink the old bottle.
Use the fine china.
Drive the Ferrari.
And if it becomes a relic,
Let it be
Because it lived first.
For the Lord knows, life is too valuable and too short.

Blessed be the internet for letting your writing reach us.
I love a read that opens up your mind and shares insights I didn't know I needed. Thank you, Sherry.

no distance between me and my life - what a wonderful mantra

such a great and illuminating piece. i have a feeling this one will stay with me for a while.

Beautiful. When we live for internet optics we neglect our true lives. Will bring extra intention toward discernment.
