This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one. Being a force of nature instead of a feverish, selfish little clod of ailments and grievances, complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. I am of the opinion that my life belongs to the whole community and as long as I live, it is my privilege to do for it what I can. I want to be thoroughly used up when I die, for the harder I work, the more I live. I rejoice in life for its own sake. Life is no brief candle to me. It is a sort of splendid torch which I have got hold of for the moment and I want to make it burn as brightly as possible before handing it on to future generations.”
― George Bernard Shaw

The future is a virus.
One Year
Got a nice card and a beautiful poem and note from my Stepmother yesterday. We’re all thinking about pop today.

Just because there must be something funny about all this rain.
Beach Day
Went to the beach today. Here’s a quick watercolor I did in the watercolor moleskine.
