My latest obsession: Kodo – Japanese Drummers. I have their albums on repeat on Spotify. Talk about energizing. I am determined to see them perform live.

Keith reflecting on his relationship to time. Wonderful.
Each time I land in a new country I want a push notification telling me:
1) Is the tap water safe to drink?
2) Should I tip? If so, how much?
3) Do I need cash? If so, how much per day?

As someone who grew up with a dad who did past-life regressions in our living room on a regular basis I reveled in this Science of the Soul piece.
Japanese architect Kengo Kuma designed The Exchange, a multipurpose structure located at Darling Square in Sydney, and housing a library, food hall, restaurants and a day-care facility. Holy giant Swiss cow, this is breathtaking!

This house! It’s called the Gjøvik House, situated an hour outside of Oslo, Norway and designed by Norm Architects. Stunning.

“Much of what ruins the present is sheer anxiety. The present always contains an enormous number of possibilities, some hugely gruesome, which we are constantly aware of in the background. Anything could theoretically happen, an earthquake, an aneurysm, a rejection – which gives rise to the non-specific anxiety that trails most of us around all the time; the simple dread at the unknownness of what is to come.”
