PHOTO by Quang Vuong. A narrow aisle stretches deep into a monochrome labyrinth of tall bookshelves, packed tightly with aged spines and endless stories. Overhead signs mark categories—Poetry, U.S. History, Literary Bios—dangling above the quiet corridor. A lone step ladder waits mid-path, inviting the seeker upward. Fluorescent lights cast a sterile glow, yet the space feels timeless, suspended between thought and memory. The silence is thick, broken only by the imagined rustle of turning pages.
If you only read the books that everyone else is reading, you can only think what everyone else is thinking.
- Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

We all stumble, it’s part of being human. What matters is getting back up, learning, and moving forward.
Be kind to yourself. Carry your past lightly, stand gently in your present, and trust what’s ahead.
Be brave enough to be bad at something new. You may enjoy it more than you think

“We can judge our progress by the courage of our questions and the depth of our answers, our willingness to embrace what is true rather than what feels good.”
— Carl Sagan
Quantum hardware and software are advancing rapidly – and our online encryption systems need to change to stay ahead.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
When we truly feel and understand that our living planet took almost 4.5 billion years to create the perfect balance for us humans to be able to live here, we may start remembering that caring for our only home is not only imperative for humanity's survival - it's an ethical revolution.

The setting sun from earlier this evening. You can see from my Marseille balcony, a view facing due north. The shadows appear over the city; whilst the sky is a clear tangerine colour.

"You live in a time of abundance, medicine, knowledge, and opportunity—things the Stoics could not have imagined in their wildest dreams. So yes, see what’s broken. Yes, work to make it better. But do so with gratitude, not despair. Do so with the understanding that you inherited a world improved by generations before you and that it’s now your turn to leave it better than you found it."
This is from a recent @daily-stoic.bsky.social mailout ❤️

“Growth at all costs” has cost us:
🔹 Rising seas
🔹 Mass extinction
🔹Heat wave
🔹Toxic air
The planet is not a resource. It’s our life support.
Respect it before it’s too late.

"Motivation is simply a set of conditions, and most of them are smaller than you’d think. You don’t need more discipline or willpower to get unstuck – just a clearer view of the reward, a reason to be curious, and enough evidence that you’re moving forward." - @neuranne.bsky.social
