You can’t think about what you don’t know and nobody knows this planet. Some people know a little about a few small parts of it.</p> <p>The people who think globally do so by abstractly and statistically reducing the globe to quantities. Political tyrants and industrial exploiters have done this most successfully. Their concepts and their green are abstract and their abstractions lead with terrifying directness and simplicity to acts that are invariably destructive. If you want to do good and preserving acts you must think and act locally. The effort to do good acts gives the global game away. You can’t do a good act that is global. A good act, to be good, must be acceptable to what Alexander Pope called “the genius of the place”. This calls for local knowledge, local skills, and local love that virtually none of us has, and that none of us can get by thinking globally. We can get it only by a local fidelity that we would have to maintain through several lifetimes.</p> <p>I don’t wish to be loved by people who don’t know me.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>Wendell Berry, letter to the editor, via <a href="http://caterina.net/2012/08/11/wendell-berry-letter-to-the-editor/" title="Wendell Berry, letter to the editor">Caterina.net</a></em>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/29650059668http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/29650059668Fri, 17 Aug 2012 19:07:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7qynfFUBn1qghfy5o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28837808768http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28837808768Mon, 06 Aug 2012 11:02:00 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m87m8vuz0C1rz0r42o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://onephotoperday.tumblr.com/post/28671974871/boots">onephotoperday</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Boots.</p> </blockquote>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28706460438http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28706460438Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:19:15 -0400<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m70kzlEYqG1qzs63fo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://explodingdog.tumblr.com/post/27000120222/my-thoughts-are-with-a-sandwich">explodingdog</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>my thoughts are with a sandwich</p> </blockquote>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28706223855http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28706223855Sat, 04 Aug 2012 13:14:39 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7sr7niFVU1qzajgpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Roll.</p>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28096903929http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/28096903929Thu, 26 Jul 2012 22:06:59 -0400<iframe src="https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F15997048&liking=false&sharing=false&origin=tumblr" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="soundcloud_audio_player" width="500" height="116"></iframe><br/><br/><p><span>If I started my own country</span><br/><span>For the flag, what colours would I use?</span><br/><span>Such a myriad to choose from</span><br/><span>I would pick red, yellow & blue</span><br/><br/><span>Red, for the blood I’d spill to own it</span><br/><span>Yellow, for the sun which shines my way</span><br/><span>& although I am leader of this country</span><br/><span>Blue, because I’d still have sad days</span></p>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/27052624808http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/27052624808Thu, 12 Jul 2012 11:15:00 -0400“A designer knows he has arrived at perfection not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away.”<br/><br/> - <em>Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, French writer and aircraft designer</em>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/25757971974http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/25757971974Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:23:55 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m5z22ctqZi1qzajgpo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>Biking home.</p>http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/25575466596http://thismax.tumblr.com/post/25575466596Thu, 21 Jun 2012 10:39:48 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4farbaVOV1qzajgpo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Neko.
