Sent from a friend, weekend reading that made my day.
The eight secrets to a (fairly) fulfilled life. A beautiful column in The Guardian by Oliver Burkeman.
I read Oliver’s words and find we have a shared truth . . .
“Obviously, I never expected to find the secret, but on some level I must have known there were questions I needed to confront – about anxiety, commitment-phobia in relationships, control-freakery and building a meaningful life. Writing a column provided the perfect cover for such otherwise embarrassing fare.”
Writing - a blog, a journal, a sketchbook - about photography - provides the perfect cover for self-discovery. I see it in my work and in the creative work of each and every life. Art moves us forward. In one way or the other.
