Rising Tide – 2019 Week 41

Welcome back to Rising Tide, the weekly digest of things I’ve discovered or been into this past week and consider worth sharing. Enjoy!


1. This quote:

“Sit in a room and read—and read and read. And read the right books by the right people. Your mind is brought onto that level, and you have a nice, mild, slow-burning rapture all the time.”

– Joseph Campbell

2. This TED Talk:

I was in Chicago this week. One cannot help but admire the public transportation system of that city. This talk is amazing and puts a lot into perspective.

3. This poem: Jabberwocky is a poem by Lewis Carroll,

Beware, the Jabberwock!

Also found in his book, Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, it’s an impressive nonsensical poem with made up language. I saw it mentioned in an article about artists’ favorite poems, and I haven’t been able to leave it alone. It almost feels like a riddle… trying to define some of the words, reading it a little faster, or understanding another stanza. It’s a fun read! Try it!

This is all I have for the week! Until next time…
