However I think it’s less obvious that liking your life is a conscious act. Especially liking as many moments of it as possible. And it seems quite possible that you won’t like your life as much without those conscious acts of liking.

Of course more goes into enjoying your life than just consciously liking it. Things like sleep, exercise, diet, friendships, family, work, and community. The list could go on and on. But the act of consciously liking your life seems just as important as any of those other things. Maybe more so.

About the Work
I often run on this beach in Santa Monica, California, but I had never seen this particular type of bird there before. It may have flown too far from its normal region. I wanted to remember it, since it was so tall, thin, elegant and beautiful. I got lucky with this shot. The bird was standing still and the reflections were great. If you’re using this for wallpaper on your mobile, it can make several different interesting backgrounds, depending on which area you select.

Display Digitally or Print and Hang
This is a JPEG image file (1936 x 2592 pixels) you can use in several ways. You can use it as wallpaper on your computer or mobile device. You can also print it, as the resolution and size works well on an 8.5 x 11 inch sheet of paper. Here is more about displaying, printing and hanging. Get the work and proxri below.

Later, on 2/12/2013 …

I’ve watched this three times now. For me, it’s an astonishing, beautiful film.

It’s well-crafted, well-written, well-edited, well-photographed and well-narrated. You get a sense of Norman, and the arc of his career. But it’s more than just about an architect. It’s about being a human being. And it’s about humans working together.

The icing on the cake is the music. This wonderful original score, written by Joan Valent, is integrated throughout the film. But his music near the end, that carries through the credits, had me in tears.

So far, it seems to be a pretty persuasive argument, that geography helped create compelling competitive advantages for some groups of people, that continued to compound. Well, I guess geography plus germs.

But I’m afraid it’s not going to ask what I think is a more interesting question: Why don’t people treat each other better? Or perhaps more productively, under what conditions do people treat each other better?

I’ll probably write a bit more after I finish watching the series.

Finished it. I would recommend this series.

Diamond repeatedly says he began this work over 30 years ago. That strikes a chord with me. I began work on proximity thinking over 35 years ago.

The difference of course is, that no one understands my work yet. And no one supports my work. And no one believes in me.

That’s why I’ve been working on ways to put the ideas into action. Pretty much all my projects, and my art, relate to proximity thinking in one way or another.

Enjoying? Consider a proxri.
