Fifty Sounds by Polly Barton

5.0

“As the parable tells us, success is reserved for the man who builds his house on the rock. Nowadays I think that maybe I’ve known always somewhere deep down that I couldn’t live for long on any rock. What took me longer to figure out was that living on the sand didn’t have to be just a running away or an experience of permanent overwhelm. That the topsy-turvy place between languages and cultures, which has been a site of humility and triangulation and self-knowledge, of absurdity and inanity and the best source of creative fertility, can also offer, paradoxically, a kind of safety”.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
