i think to live a good life is to seek beauty. I recently learnt that the word beauty comes from, think, the greek word for calling. So something that you're called to is something that's beautiful. And i love thinking about just looking around my room and looking at the most ordinary things and thinking, what's the beauty there? What's the beauty in this shoe, in this box, and this lamp, in these things that i see every day? These things that, if i were going to suddenly leave this life and go somewhere else, wouldn't i miss so much? There's so much beauty to be had every day and to be explored every day. Seey
Mari Andrew is what I’d call a flaneur, she navigates the world in search of moments of discovery, wonder, serendipity and connection. That novelty often drops her into those flickering moments of aliveness - that is her muse. It’s found an expression in the form of beloved illustrations and words on her Instagram account with a community of more than 1M people and her first book. But these last 4 or 5 years have led Mari into entire seasons of deep struggle, reflection, and, ultimately, revelation that’s taken her from park benches in New York’s East Village to hospital wards in Spain and random alleys in Rio.
In her new book, My Inner Sky: On Embracing Day, Night, and All the Times in Between (https://amzn.to/3bi0NIJ), Mari shares some of these moments, from an illness that temporarily paralyzed her in a foreign country to finding home within herself again and seeing the world anew. It's a call to spend more time finding grace in the truth of whatever life brings you, rather than wishing and waiting for things to change.
