”Embrace the space around the work, whatever that looks like: running, glass blowing, cloud watching. Let it fill you with wonder. Allow yourself fallow periods. That’s life, too....Live yours with integrity and generosity.” More from Sara Lippmann, editor in chief of Epiphany: pw.org/AERLippmann

it is a truth universally acknowledged that if you take your summer campers to a kosher chicken plant, they will write it into a story 40 years later sites.lsa.umich.edu/mqr/
