Openness
On Secrets
You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late - Ralph Waldo Emerson
Inspired by others' little secret acts of kindness, PostSecret is an ongoing community art project where people mail in their secrets anonymously on one side of a postcard.
On Colin Wilson
Sad to read of the passing of Colin Wilson, a truly open-minded polymath, whose books, exhaustive range of interests, freedom of expression and seemingly boundless productivity I long found inspiring.
