do the right thing

the word
on the street


do the right thing


has this
incredible
faith in us

to know what
is right, a priori




and yet the great beauty
and ugliness of humanity,
is that we all interpret
the good word
differently.

it feels right
to post this now


days with my father
by phillip toledano




my father
on his father:


Art was a simple man
with a profound understanding
of what was right, what was fair
and what was the best way
to treat people.

with that as his coda,
he ran the course hard,
without cutting anyone off,
and kept pumping all the
way to the finish.




that's life








ps: grandpa Art
mailed me architecture
clippings from newspapers.
he was a special part of
2 or 3 things.


i feel a
great void.

butlers & Geshias



the art of service




"a man cannot call himself
well-contented until he has done
 all he can to be of service
to his employer."


the remains of the day
by kazu ishiguro


when working for others
is more than a job, but an etiquette
to honor, respect and embody fully.



butlers and geishas
work everyday towards
creating and maintaining
an atmosphere of order
and refinement.


it's a seamless
choreography of
restraint and
perfection


mastering this
aesthetic presentation
is a daily design challenge.
each movement thoughtfully
calculated and considered.


indeed it's a bit
obsessive and old school,
but i'm absolutely fascinated by
this self-gratifying ambition of the few
to instill beauty and dignity in the
most ordinary living routines.



like all art,
it's something to
appreciate.

general store



serena mitnik-miller



captures the lightness
of sand, sea and sky




and knows
how to curate
the feeling.


the calm clarity
of being underwater.
inside a shell. a rising
air bubble. a womb.
quiet. assured.
at peace.


...and the few
familiar things
you would have
by your side.



general store
is this space.





ps: i'm interested
to know what 3 things
form your comfort blanket?
make you feel at ease
with yourself in this
weighty world.



ps: serena's blog
