Beautiful. I’ve had to start over so many times in life that I feel guilty for buying new only to let it go. So I’ve often wanted to just collect a mix of things that match only in the way a memory can come together in pieces. But alas, I also worry I’ll grow even more attached to them as symbols than I would just a blank plate. 🍽️
The paradox is that Roger and I have spent a full decade refining what we own and use. Using the template of minimalism. And now, your home it gifted us with a new sense of the wonderful complexity of the self.
Look what I just read in Anam Cara last night! 'At the deepest level of the human heart, there is no simple, singular self. Deep within, there is a gallery of difference selves, Each on of these figures expresses a different part of your nature. Sometimes they will come into contradiction and conflict with each other.
...One of the most interesting forms of complexity is contradiction. We need to rediscover contradiction as a creative force within the soul.' - John O'Donohue
StoryFest is doing two 'plate linked' events across this years festival (June 19-22 in Milton and Ulladulla, NSW). Story on a Plate where approximately 15 local venues are creating dishes and offerings to customers that tell their story to festival visitors and locals across the month of June. We are also putting on Poet Taster (in conjunction with Word Travels) where a local cafe will host leading poets who (alongside cafe staff delivering coffee and meals) also deliver fresh and delicious serves of words to customers.
