Born to see; meant to look

My favorite “thoughtful spot” in the world and made doubly so by its connection to J. M. W. Turner.

Landscapes like this become necessary respites in a contemplative life since they help stitch together the people, places, and things you observe. They can also be used to clear your cache.

We’re having freakishly warm weather in New England today and it is absolutely gorgeous. I would be riddled with guilt (sitting inside on the computer) if I hadn’t already taken a bike excursion by the water that ended with a cappuccino.

It’s also 1:00 something and I haven’t even touched the Wall Street Journal.
