Lately Iโ€™ve become less engaged with the world. How do I find something to be interested in? | Leading questions The world is a big thing to get interested in, writes advice columnist Eleanor Gordon-Smith. What if you start with the little things instead?

Favourite quote I read this week:

"Love for the world is love for the way the milk makes a thundercloud in the tea."

An all around good article as well: www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...

FIND ME AFTER: Can you survive the Stillness? See if you have what it takes to survive the Stillness, the eerie dimension between life and death...

Scholastic UK made this lovely choose-your-own-adventure game for #FindMeAfter -- it makes me nostalgic for my lost youth obsessively playing the Fighting Fantasy books.

Could you survive the Stillness?
Inspired by the events of FIND ME AFTER

Timelapse of the full moon setting as filmed from my bedroom window... seemed as good a first post as any... (the sky isn't exactly blue though, more grey-->orange).
