Splash No. 239 - February Break?

February Break?

 

Hello! It feels like January flew by! I haven't taken a week off in a little bit, and we've entered my least favorite month of the year, so it feels right to take a second to recalibrate. No essay today, but I'll be sending out the next edition of reflecting pool this week.

Drops of the Week
 

• ALBUM - 6 Feet Beneath the Moon by King Krule - revisited one of my favorite albums recently

• ARTICLE - "Everyone Is Mostly the Same… (And Why This Is Good News)" by Mark Manson - important reflection of the similarity of our lives and how vulnerability can be the salve to our shared troubles

• POEM - "I am learning to abandon the world" by Linda Pastan - RIP to a great poet
