I appreciate greatly this sentence,"We’re on a perennial quest for knowledge and ideas that inform rather than educate, that supplement rather than provoke, that reaffirm rather than disrupt."

The modern world presents us all with such odd territory. In my perspective is also that knowledge without questioning and contemplation is empty. I need to ask myself how often I devour instead of educate myself.

Thank you for another wonderful publication!

I am so glad you said all this! I get irritated every time some entity online talks about a "curated" collection when they never had anyone in mind but themselves. They made a list. They used technology when a truly curated offering is indeed connected by many well-thought-out dots, some of which are discovered only after taking time to reflect on a collection. When I walk through a photographic exhibit, for example, I love the glimmerings I catch of how it was put together, all the obvious and less obvious connections.
