Throwing out the candy evidence
Oh, hi friends!
You can let some things go.
Just let them gently float away.
Or you can throw them out like last night’s candy wrappers.
I don't even know what you might want to let go.
But when I said “you can let some things go,” something probably came to mind.
So can you? Will you?
Just walk over to those 47 smushed Twix wrappers in your trash, and place whatever you want right next to them.

The Oculus is a giant subway station-slash-shopping center in downtown Manhattan. I walk through it every morning. It continues to amaze.

Oh, Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, you wise, wise man. His book Flow is all about finding your peak performance by accessing a state of flow. You know it, I know it. It happens when what you’re doing aligns with your natural talents, but isn't too easy, and isn’t too hard. You’re stretching your brain just enough.
Lewiston/Clarkston is a pairing of two plays written by Samuel D. Hunter. They gutted the Rattlestick Theater to use the entire space. There is a dinner break in the middle; you’re supposed to talk to your neighbors. I could explain the plays and the concept and point you to this New York Times article about how they planned it all and tell you to buy tickets because it's truly some of the best theater I've seen all year, but I think the biggest takeaway, at least for me, is to try something.
Try something new.
Try to be different.
People will find you.
They will recognize what you are doing.
And if they don't, you still tried.
