G reetings from Torridon, on the west coast of Scotland. The big empty, as my friend Jamie Jauncey calls it. This issue circles back to (recently featured) Sherman Alexie, who just floored some Dark Angels. Torridon is geologically and visually stunning. Voice is central to Nam-myoho-renge-kyo, Herbie Hancock’s chant. A periodic table of storytelling? Yes. And where to store all those wonders you find online? “My great-great uncle and Long Wolf understood that to be fully human means dwelling not just on the planet but in nature. That’s where our hearts beat strongest.” Jamie Jauncey

A brilliant new podcast steps up. Drones are now making haunting films. These cave paintings sent an art critic into paroxyms of joy. David Carr’s course syllabus is a trove. And, a buzzy new entry into the music streaming world. “And all of us laughed as we walked and drove and rode our way back to our lonely, lonely houses.” ― Sherman Alexie, The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian

The internet is one dark field of battle. The pictures out of Paris bewitch, bother and bewilder. A smart storytelling publisher chases commercial storytelling gigs. As you document the world, your smart phone camera goes wide and long. Alexey, with love for photography, from Russia. “The tears of the world are a constant quantity. For each one who begins to weep somewhere else another stops. The same is true of the laugh.” ― Samuel Beckett, Waiting for Godot

Thomas Merton

"Now let us frankly face the fact that our culture is one which is geared in many ways to help us evade any need to face this inner, silent self. We live in a state of constant semi-attention to the sound of voices, music, traffic, or the generalized noise of what goes on around us all the time. This keeps us immersed in a flood of racket and words, a diffuse medium in which our consciousness is half diluted: we are not quite ‘thinking,’ not fully present and not entirely absent; not fully withdrawn, yet not completely available. It cannot be said that we are really participating in anything and we may, in fact, be half conscious of our alienation and resentment…We just float along in the general noise…”
