Lovely interview with Daphne du Maurier – the wine and fags, the feet on the sofa, her cheeky smile!

“The high value put upon every minute of time, the idea of hurry-hurry as the most important objective of living, is unquestionably the most dangerous enemy of joy.” Hermann Hesse, born on this day in 1877, still has something to teach us about presence: brainpickings.org/2017/03/06…

A good musician is like a good cook who tastes the sauce frequently, tweaks the seasonings and never over salts. #cellotips
