“The Islamic foursquare garden signified the four quarters of the universe, with the four rivers of life intersecting at the garden’s centre.
“The Persians, and later Islam in its traditions, balance the lack of generosity by nature creating gardens using the reassuring colour of living green, the colour that became a sign for Islam.
“The garden enjoyed an interlocking complexity with architecture.
“Tiled and well-ordered courtyards were symmetrically pre-occupied, representing transcendental purity and perfection, in direct contrast to mankind’s and natures predictable imperfection.”

“…Use natural light. Take what you get. Make the variability in your inputs part of what you create.”
“…take the path of natural light. Embrace the idea that the conditions will never be ideal, which of course makes them always ideal. Because the thing about natural light is that whatever it is, is.”

Most Instagram blogging requires a certain amount of innate sympathy to find compelling. But opening the app can be a nice return to an older internet, where people felt more open and less paranoid about sharing the endearing ordinariness of their everyday lives online.”

“The initiator
“For each person who cares enough to make something, who is bold enough to ship it, who is generous enough to say, “here, I made this,”…
“There are ten people who say, “I could have done it better.”
“A hundred people who say, “Who are you to do this?”
“A thousand people who say, “I was just about to do that,”
“and ten thousand people who don’t care at all.
“And all of that is okay, because the person we need, the one we cherish, the one we would miss, is the first person, the initiator, the one who cares.
“Thanks for shipping your work.” — Seth Godin
