What an honour it is to be featured in another person's newsletter. It's my first time getting this kind of shout out, and it means a lot to me. I have been having some unusual traffic on that piece from inexplicable pieces and this newsletter helps me see why. Thank you. <3 I'm so glad you pointed me to Steven's piece as well, I nearly missed it!
I love the Vonnegut quote. To dethrone ideas of doing something "well" or "poorly", or for success and prestige outcomes, and to recenter *experiencing* what's inside each of us, and that too in a state of transformation!
I read it three times over to let it just sink in. What a privilege it is to get to even experience what's inside us, and then the further possibility of witnessing that in evolution... I never thought about it like this. I am putting it up on a post-it note at my desk. It's a nice reminder not to get lost in all the head-things I get up to often with work, to keep open the window to stay with my soul more.
I love this quote, and love that you put it on a post-it at your desk! I might have to do something like that myself. It's such a good reminder, when the ethos today is more like "practice any art, not to discover yourself, but to build a following on Twitter and make $10K per month" (--Not Vonnegut). I really appreciated your piece on reply game, it's helped motivate me to get off my butt a little bit and get back into sharing things and commenting on others' work.
Thanks, Ishan! It's a pleasure to be able to read and curate so many great articles from fellow WoP grads. Also, I hope the poetry article inspires you to find some new favorites :)
I'm happy to hear you found a format that works best for you, and I continue to look forward to the weekly essays! Thank you for tagging me and sharing Malavika's piece :)

Love the articles you've curated man.Your essay on why we should read poetry was one banger piece. Steven's and Malavika's work was also great :)
