The art and scienceof living.

The few ideas the house is built on. Plain enough to keep in your head on a hard day.

  2. A day has five parts.

    Rest, nourish, move, settle, connect. When a day feels wrong, one of the five is usually missing. Start with whichever is easiest.

  3. Pleasure counts.

    A good meal, the right song, a walk somewhere new. These are not rewards for later. They are part of living well now.

  5. Live well, then give.

    A life with a little room in it has something to share: an hour, a meal, a lift. Living well and showing up for someone are the same practice.
