We are so lucky to live during a time when the myth of the artist emerging fully formed has been debunked. The artist is a person, just like you, who has made the choice to fill their space and time seeking the common core of our humanity.

Here are some links to things I talked about this week you may want to check out:

• DaVinci’s Sketches at the Metropolitan (I said it was the ‘90’s, but it looks like it was 2003!)
• Letters from EB White (1st edition)
• Teachers and Writers Collective Workshops
• Colum McCann
• NYPL Stacks
• Jack Kerouac baseball cards
• William Blake’s watercolors
• Judy Blume’s Master Class
• David Sedaris Readings
• Patti Smith’s Substack
• Artist/Mother Podcast
• NASA’s Genius Study
• Louise Glück’s poem “Afterword”

Keep doing your good work.
