Alright, back to reading about vices

I'm really enjoying the listen so far. However, I don't know how I am going to be able to summarize all the good advice at the end for the book review 😅

You know it's a promising read when a book about art/making makes you want to put down the book and go make art.

I'm excited for this read! Virtue has long been a subject I found fascinating, so I am looking forward to understanding vice better.

"Far from being 'bad' for us, a hindrance to spiritual growth, it may be the means of unfolding spiritual 'blossoms hitherto enfolded." (On loneliness)

D'Artagnan is quite a plucky fellow, full of verve 😆 He is occasionally in danger of becoming annoying due to these qualities.

Just updating my progress to say the author does a marvelous job describing food.

I feel like a good portion of people's problems in this book would be solved by being monogamous. 😬😅

Now I really want to arrange flowers and create a table centerpiece.

This will be my third year using this. I am also hoping that it will be the first time I don't loose track of what day I am on 😅

"This is the power of art. It happens in time and space, but it points to the eternal. It takes the objects and ideas It finds lying around, the things of the here and now, and assembles them into something that belongs to a world outside of time."

This has been such a sweet story so far! I'm excited to keep listening.

I just started, but I'm excited! I really like the tone of it so far.

I want to yell at Cousin Archibald 😆 So bad.

"Life is a fragile, scared thing. This sacred fragility has played a central role in the creation of much of the world's great art."

I'm really enjoying this so far! She is a fun narrator and the world is engaging.
