John Carmichael<p>Past and Present<br>"It is a mistake to think that the past is dead. Nothing that has ever happened is quite without influence at this moment. The present is merely the past rolled up and concentrated in this second of time. You, too, are your past; often your face is your autobiography; you are what you are because of what you have been; because of your heredity stretching back <br><a href="https://alexandersmap.com/2024/02/12/past-and-present/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alexandersmap.com/2024/02/12/p</span><span class="invisible">ast-and-present/</span></a><br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PersonalGrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PersonalGrowth</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/History" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>History</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Lifestyle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Lifestyle</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WillDurant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WillDurant</span></a></p>
John Carmichael<p>More Movingly Visible<br>"What are the needs and impulses that make a man spend years of preparation, and then months of labor, to produce a work of art? Presumably because he wishes to express himself, his ideas, and his moods; because he longs for distinction and reward; because he has a keener sense of beauty than most of us; because he aspires to combine the partial beauties and veiled meanings of actu<br><a href="https://alexandersmap.com/2024/02/01/more-movingly-visible/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">alexandersmap.com/2024/02/01/m</span><span class="invisible">ore-movingly-visible/</span></a><br><a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Art</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Writing</span></a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/WillDurant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WillDurant</span></a></p>
John Carmichael<p>Let Us Play<br>"Health lies in action, and so it graces youth. To be busy is the secret of grace, and half the secret of content. Let us ask the gods not for possessions, but for things to do; happiness is in making things rather than in consuming them.
