And some murmurations. Hi there, We hope this finds you somewhere that smells particularly nice. Maybe it smells like sun-warmed breeze, oranges, and charcoal. Or like overly spiced chai, new books, and clean laundry. For us, it’s almost-but-not-quite-snowing air, pine, and cinnamon toast. We’re considering some new starts while also just daydreaming in general. Depending on what you need, here are a few ideas. If you don’t feel like respecting normal laws of gravity: - A large flock of sparrows is called a murmuration because of the sound their wings make as they fly. Xavi Bou captures the patterns of these flocks in mesmerizing photographs, but you’ll have to imagine the sound.
If you’re thinking about the passage of time: - This book, slightly stressfully called Four Thousand Weeks,could strike the right note to step into the blank expanse of a new year with.
- You could consider doing that closet cleanse you’ve been meaning to, passing on the shirts from 2001 that don’t quite fit into the life you’ve built now. Want a guide to get started? Aren’t you in luck.
- Or if you want to add to that closet instead, enjoy one last day of Flash Sales before we leave them in 2021.
If you feel like planning an adventure: - You could set your sights on Palazzo Monti, where The Great Women Artists Residency is exhibiting for the third year running.
- Or consider a walk through a handful of different climates up in Acadia National Park. Beaches, pines, water so icy it wakes you up? All good for fresh starts.
If you just need rest: - Stop looking at your screen (we say, while simultaneously scrolling TikTok).
- Get a heavy blanket and close all the doors, but crack a window and nap until it’s too late to do anything else except make pancakes for dinner.
We’re picking the last one. From under a heavy blanket, The M.M. Team P.S. If you need a visual for the almost-not-quite-snowing-air, it’s this; Click here to from this email type or here to from all marketing emails. |  |
