Kilimanjaro is a snow-covered mountain 19,710 feet high, and is said to be the highest mountain in Africa. Its western summit is called the Masai “Ngaje Ngai,” the House of God. Close to the western summit there is the dried and frozen carcass of a leopard. No one has explained what the leopard was seeking at that altitude. https://www.instagram.com/p/B3v8-WqFdcgqPsqrOaH_q9ZrusOJ1_PuqHLyLU0/?igshid=1sv9xea7ghpiu

Following the devastating 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan, Ryuichi Sakamoto made several trips to the worst affected regions, working with local schools to repair and replace damaged instruments. He finds this piano, damaged but still mostly intact. Sitting down to play its weathered keys, he reflects on its manufacture: by the forceful imposition of civilization onto nature. “We say it falls out of tune, but that’s not exactly accurate,” Sakamoto says. When the instrument’s tuning goes awry, it means “matter is struggling to return to a natural state.” “I felt as if I was playing the corpse of a piano that had drowned.” https://www.instagram.com/p/B3Jt7dEFqoYHdrNIVwD3CFPmJICiZUbA2VPaSo0/?igshid=1civ7v9c16nma

When the time comes around for people to encounter the end of their life having put on years, death seems to be quietly approaching It was not supposed to be my style to be frightened of that, but I am In the shadows of my loved ones footprints, distress revisits me at the dead of night refreshing my memories Being in love with and longing for you, I have locked myself up in this “castle of shed tears” Now may be the time for me to wander off into the place, the guidepost to the other world points to And the sky is waiting for me, attended by numerous clouds Overwhelmed by your tenderness that has always encouraged me I have been searching for “love” in earnest taking my wish for happiness along Let me call out to and ask the birds flying about in the sky I want to convey to them my feelings Over many long years, with art as a weapon I have treaded the path in search of love During the days I have lived through keeping “despair”, “emptiness” and “loneliness” all to myself along the way there were times when the fireworks of life “splendidly” adorned the sky Dancing in the night sky in a myriad of colors, the fireworks sprinkled dust all over my body I will never forget that exhilarating moment Now I think is the time to dedicate my heart to you, my dearest Was the beauty of the end of one’s life nothing more than illusion? Would you give me an answer to this? Devoting all my heart to you, I have lived through to this day Hoping to leave beautiful footprints at the end of my life I spend each day praying that my wish will be fulfilled This is my message of love to you - Yayoi Kusama

The word bulldozer wandered through his mind for a moment in search of something to connect with. The bulldozer outside the kitchen was quite a big one. He stared at it. “Yellow,” he thought, and stomped off back to his bedroom to get dressed. https://www.instagram.com/p/ByKGwHUFISSDEdRJkFH89U5U3SiOJTMghgrUjw0/?igshid=3zok0vx3roft

With luck, memory can be as wonderful as Proust’s delight - the unexpected rediscovery in the fragrance of a morsel of madeleine - a miraculous epiphany. But the memory is unreliable. It has a will of its own, and we're not entirely in control of it.

I watched him carefully, waiting for a time when we'd say real things to each other. (at Trail Ridge Road)

@lindamwang told me there was a cask of Amontillado here ?? (at Bodegas Marqués de Riscal)

"Architecture is the will of an epoch translated into space." It was incredibly fulfilling to experience Mies' words firsthand. Still enamored with the Barcelona Pavilion after all these years and even found two bonus Dancers! #mies #vanderwoah #arewehuman #orarewedancer (at Fundació Mies van der Rohe)

It's this way, trust me (at Alta Ski Area)

Saw these floating lights off the coast of Korea. Don't know what they were but they were beautiful. (at Ilsan Beach, Ulsan, South Korea)
