And to be conscious of play and letting go is necessary to the human experience. Maria Popova from The Marginalian has taken up the theme of Carnival in her Sunday Newsletter and here is the link: Enjoy!

Bliv i DK når det er sommer. Og hvorfor kaldes det skovbrande og ikke naturbrande? Jeg oplevede naturbrande i Californien og det er lav bevoksning, nærmest buske, der brænder (brushfire) og de kalder det wildfires. Samme klima på Kreta …
