Creating Dangerously: ‘Spare Us from Living in Interesting Times’ - Thought of the Day Creating in an ‘interesting’ and ‘thrillingly tragic’ reality is, as Camus writes, a foolproof method for one to desperately turn back to the divinities and pray they be spared from ever again having to live through such “interesting” times. But nonetheless, though ‘one may long, as I do, for a gentler flame, a respite, a pause for musing’ (32), we have been dealt with the hand, as most before us, of living in interesting times. Thus comes the call for responsible artists whose call is to awaken the truth, however interesting it may be. -Gabriela Milkova https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/the-chaotic-method monthly 0.5 2020-06-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591977187172-06JODWDEYV86P0KV6ADZ/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - In Defence of the Chaotic Method https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/the-machine-stops monthly 0.5 2020-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591801668584-9E05645KWB3KMTH0YT3Q/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - The Machine Stops: ‘men made it, do not forget that’ https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591803870890-YOW85UGT6063HYX6GIOY/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - The Machine Stops: ‘men made it, do not forget that’ - Thought of the Day The biggest threat to this way of life was the ‘unexpected terror’ of ‘-silence’ which may cause one to manifest the incorrigible blight of the first-hand idea. Forster warns, however, that ‘the Machine stops’. When it stops, ‘panic reigns’, following ‘gradations of terror - at times rumours of hope’, until it finally and indefinitely stops. What is man-made will remain just that. -Gabriela Milkova. https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/existential-ice-cream monthly 0.5 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591543793517-84PLPEQ0YCRTYNLZ5IB4/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - Quarandreams Diary #2: Existential Ice Cream https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/you-my-friend-are-lonely-a-lament monthly 0.5 2020-06-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591198548306-B80VDUDR2TCXH6TIF7IV/Edward_Poynter_-_Orpheus_and_Eurydice%2C_1862.jpg Daily Thought - You my friend are lonely… a lament. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1591201039364-5UCQ536P1JNGP5HZJHFV/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - You my friend are lonely… a lament. - Thought of the Day The Sonnets to Orpheus, XVI is a lament at having been made lonely by one’s hunger to disgorge words, ‘because…we make the world our own’. The delicate craftsmanship of the words drew me into a mournful lament - a lament at the loss of fellowship, where words are used for ‘pointing fingers’ and splitting ‘fragments and parts’ against ‘the whole’. Rilke mourns our loss of communion with the ineffable, our infinite capacity for dissension, and our persistent descent into self-isolation. https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/jane-austen-on-cake monthly 0.5 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590589174351-HRH3VM7OZ541SZHOOHAM/1590527733918.jpg Daily Thought - Jane Austen on the Disagreeable Richness of Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590589177418-DM9RE41N60AFJYDTW5Y6/1590528160928.jpg Daily Thought - Jane Austen on the Disagreeable Richness of Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590589181391-851NTABO8IVJZP7RVDK4/1590528985141.jpg Daily Thought - Jane Austen on the Disagreeable Richness of Cake https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590592631374-T31250GCZEQC1UZTW2ZM/1590527733918.jpg Daily Thought - Jane Austen on the Disagreeable Richness of Cake - Thought of the Day In times of quarantine, I say, sneak a cake or two, steal a cookie from the cookie jar, no one’s watching anyway. Jane Austen writes of the outlandish sort of individual who would “earnestly try to dissuade [guests] from having any wedding cake” due it being far too rich a treat. To all my readers, I solemnly declare that I shall do no such thing “prevent anybody’s eating” all manner of cakes and sweets. I will rather put on my apron, get out the butter and eggs, and whip you up a a treat faster than you can say raspberry delight! -Gabriela Milkova https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/take-light-and-colour-and-write-me-the-world monthly 0.5 2020-06-07 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590331958528-V0GM5MSQIMIFV0JSG3LY/9781473630833.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590331971456-LXKY5EKBCBHNV308AGXU/816KwKDdAzL.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332671874-60WQMIA2RD16WQ7I1TSA/100053200_250818496156752_6631703614131798016_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332673816-TD9WJ3YPWBPTW39PJXB7/97995519_298130927865498_4371055656715681792_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332676803-HNB7KEZ3KG4JJHE74S0X/97993411_336758137307630_7972129458008096768_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332681823-OJ7GVHUKS74HHU2P60K9/100827139_616022292373494_4679183817485844480_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332684023-GG3EX6NBLAU697ZV7CZ3/98204426_172774677472132_7752633255970471936_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590332688654-XBD7AUGO4IU0I7FEXFXS/98176496_246126586456931_6947792526849867776_n.jpg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1590333240997-NJQG6B1VVLMAOO00DSOA/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - Take Light and Colour, and Write Me the World - Thought of the Day Ann Wroe writes “If all the light by which we see is ancient […] having journeyed from the first crack of time, it surely carries with it all manner of memories, disturbances and ghosts.” In creation myths, Light and Word emerged as one as link to the creative principle by which we see all colour. The mindfulness of reflecting upon a single colour of a mug, for instance, is as significant as gazing upon a glorious sunset. It is, after all, the brilliance of light that shapes them all. -Gabriela Milkova https://gabrielamichelemilkova.com/dailythought/tell-me-your-stories monthly 0.5 2020-05-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1589214609367-H0K0SMLV1K5FXRPD83UX/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - Tell Me Your Stories https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1589214915751-5UPZ0W0YU3OGMPXWXV3X/image-asset.jpeg Daily Thought - Tell Me Your Stories - Thought of the Day As we sit in quarantine, we bring the art of the bored back into the cities (and the country).

When I asked Toni why he chose this specific representation of Kosta, he replied that it was because he wanted to reflect the deep thinker in him. We all know him to be, as Pearse would say, ‘a Man of Authority. Gentle as a lamb, he never raises his voice. Nor ever needs to. People of all ages and both sexes are simply inclined to defer to whatever he asks. (Except Gabi. Obviously)’, but apart from his cheerful and calm demeanour, we also know him as a contemplative and wise thinker, which is the side of him this painting honours. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1587573797361-F2T9Y7VUL32HUTXV9MMC/554931_482438305102751_1317993147_n.jpg Contributions - Happy 50th Birthday Dad! - “Kosta is one of my dearest and most precious friends in the world. He is a model of Christlikeness to me. He survived a terrible accident in Oxford with his joy intact. A particularly precious memory is travelling to Aberdeen with him to go to a conference and sharing a room. I think we both snore terribly, but he is WORSE than me!! We shared a love of strong coffee and theological discussion. I long to be with Kosta and Nada once more. It's the longing for heaven which we share.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e79f41b92b8f7283b2e900d/1587575384879-KK6RNASJQ64UYGG0WJYA/21013766_1526703387381734_6320565216878679552_o.jpg Contributions - Happy 50th Birthday Dad!
