Why Most Product Tours Get Skipped (and the One Pattern That Does Not)

A quotation from Proust

In reality, every reader, as he reads, is actually the reader of himself. The writer’s work is only a kind of optical instrument he provides the reader so he can discern what he might never have seen in himself without this book. The reader’s recognition in himself of what the book says is the proof of the book’s truth.
 
[En réalité, chaque lecteur est quand il lit le propre lecteur de soi-même. L'ouvrage de l'écrivain n'est qu'une espèce d’instrument optique qu'il offre au lecteur afin de lui permettre de discerner ce que sans ce livre il n’eût peut-être pas vu en soi-même. La reconnaissance en soi-même, par le lecteur, de ce que dit le livre, est la preuve de la vérité de celui-ci.]

Marcel Proust (1871-1922) French author
Le Temps Retrouvé [Time Regained], ch. 22 (1927) [tr. Moncrieff/Kilmartin]

It’s Just a Toe

On January 21, I had a permanent matrixectomy on my left big toe. And for eight weeks and two days, I completely avoided posting any public pictures of that toe-- it was gross. But Friday morning, March 20, I woke up and saw when I looked at my feet that there was no 1/2 inch square scab in the bottom left hand corner as had been there the night before, when I went to sleep. So, bored on Friday afternoon, I took the above photo with my phone, and captioned it this on Facebook:"It took 1 […]

A quotation from Robert Louis Stevenson

To know what you like is the beginning of wisdom and of old age. Youth is wholly experimental. The essence and charm of that unquiet and delightful epoch is ignorance of self as well as ignorance of life. These two unknowns the young man brings together again and again, now in the airiest touch, now with a bitter hug; now with exquisite pleasure, now with cutting pain; but never with indifference, to which he is a total stranger, and never with that near kinsman of indifference, contentment.

Robert Louis Stevenson (1850-1894) Scottish essayist, novelist, poet
Essay (1888-09), “A Letter to a Young Gentleman who Proposes to Embrace the Career of Art,” Scribner’s Magazine, Vol. 4, No. 3

Mind ShamblesFeb 15

Attended my second #quakers meeting today.
Went into a lot of deep thoughts, fluctuating between my children, society, and my place and responcibilities to myself.
Very interesting and I left feeling good and calm.

This route of exploring myseld is so different for me, but at the moment it seems to fit. Whilst not religeous I believe in good (not God, not a typo), and that we all can and should strive for it for a better happier world. I hope everyone can have a moment of calm like mine today.

Distilling into words:

Looking inwards,
I see the world mirrored
in my worries.
Is it my fault?
Do I need to do more?
What is it to be good?
And there, on a napkin,
sat on a table in my subconcious,
scrawled in my hurried hand:
Be patient,
Always seek to learn,
Be love.

I did not realize how Selfish I felt until prompted to explore why I fear a creative path. The word the kept resonating was “Selfish”. So I decided to own it. #handlettering #selfexploration #illustration #artist #text
