theatlantic: A View of Detroit As Captured Beneath a Photographer’s Dangling Feet Detroit-based photographer Dennis Maitland has conceived of a new way to see the city, turning the experience of the skyscraper up on its head. In a series called “Life on the Edge,” Maitland climbs atop some of the highest perches in his hometown, dangles his feet precariously over the edge, focuses his lens downwards, and snaps a photo that is sure to induce perspiration. Maitland not only documents his personal overcoming of a fear of heights, but he captures views of Detroit that elevate city streets from their quotidian designation and paint a new image of our built environment. See more.

We can project ourselves into the future like no other creature.

-Searching the Brain for the Roots of Fear

by Joseph Ledoux for the New York Times

In your reading, find books to improve your color sense, your sense of shape and size in the world.

^via Brain Pickings. but very relevant to this:

“we’re just gonna observe the physical parts of our life without any kind of examination or any kind of philosophy. Just checking them. And we’ll start with the objects of your eye which is colors and shapes. So go around the room with your mind and think of all the colors and shapes” 

reyk: Disappointments are always because of our “expectations” rather than reality.

“ In silence we face and admit the gap between the depth of our being, which we consistently ignore, and the surface which is untrue to our own reality. We recognize the need to be at home with ourselves in order that we may go out to meet others, not just with a mask of affability, but with real commitment and authentic love. That is the reason for choosing silence.
— Thomas Merton, Love & Living, Naomi Burton Stone and Br. Patrick Hart, Editors. New York: Harcourt. 1979, p. 41. (via silencesounds)
