When You Hang Your Flowers Up to Dry

It's time for another photo post, because words can't effectively sum up where I've been since I last posted in April 2015.

Two-step approach to preventing the next Germanwings disaster - Reuters

Chris and I have an op-ed up about the Germanwings disaster and mental health screenings at Reuters.

It's also been chosen as The Aspen Institute's best idea of the day for April 1st. (And it's not an April Fools' joke.)

Even the Red Sun

It is a delicious thing to write, to be no longer yourself but to move in an entire universe of your own creating. Today, for instance, as man and woman, both lover and mistress, I rode in a forest on an autumn afternoon under the yellow leaves, and I was also the horses, the leaves, the wind, the words my people uttered, even the red sun that made them almost close their love-drowned eyes.

--Gustave Flaubert, born today in 1821

The Most Irreplaceable

Do not do what someone else could do as well as you. Do not say, do not write what someone else could say, could write as well as you. Care for nothing in yourself but what you feel exists nowhere else. And, out of yourself create, impatiently or patiently, the most irreplaceable of beings.

--André Gide, writer
