“Music festivals don’t have to involve thousands upon thousands of fans covered in mud and jacked up on whatever they could sneak onto the grounds.”—Sasha Frere-Jones, reviewing a “model of the the modest, focussed music festival,” Basilica SoundScape (via newyorker)
“We insist on being Someone, with a capital S. We get security from defining ourselves as worthless or worthy, superior or inferior. We waste precious time exaggerating or romanticizing or belittling ourselves with a complacent surety that yes, that’s who we are. We mistake the openness of our being—the inherent wonder and surprise of each moment—for a solid, irrefutable self. Because of this misunderstanding, we suffer.”—Pema Chodron (via yeshecholwa)
