I loved Perfect Days! I watched it a couple of weeks ago, and wow—there are so many takeaways. The beauty of more analogue living was so beautifully shown in the movie. It captures the slower pace of life and the appreciation for the routine and repetition of everyday things. Thank you for all the book recommendations! :) I just added them to my list. I would love to attend your Non-Fiction and Memoir Writing: Using Journalism Skills to Tell a Story class, but I will most likely be traveling in Asia in March. Will it be recorded too, or will you offer more classes?
Delightful to see this intermittent series resume, Malaka. (No pressure, honest -- the unexpected surprise is always welcome.)
So much to enjoy, dive into later and consider gifting. And in a wondrous coincidence, or perhaps not, your Da Vinci celestial orb link lands a day after the second-night finale of Ken Burns' PBS documentary about that genius artist-scientitist.
Lastly, your eight-page zine that looks ahead a century is inspired and touching. Thanks for these gifts, Gifted One. You *do* feed the universe, in multiple ways.
wow! I gotta watch that PBS documentary. Aww Alan, you're so kind with your comments as always. i always look forward to what your favorite bit is. Curious: what do you do for a living? Are you an artist or a writer? You seem very in touch with the inner world
I'm a retired journalist (Detroit News assistant city editor), thanks for asking and for your thoughtful observation.
And yes, the four-hour bio of Da Vinci's wide-ranging achievements is glorious, and not just because scholars speak in Italian, Spanish, French and English -- though that's an enriching bonus.
Thank you for the reminders of beauty Malaka!

Ooh, good to know that you enjoyed it! That's an extra motivator for me to watch it. It will probably be recorded!
