All hail Supermoon.

It’s been a week in which I’ve felt like I’ve been under a lot of pressure from multiple directions, and for multiple reasons; I woke up today with a sense of Thank God it’s finally Friday after all. I feel like I know where this house is coming from, in other words.

It’s been a hard week, so far, with too much needing to be done and no time to do it all in, for various reasons (I finally just caught up with a deadline from Monday, to give you an idea of how my timing isn’t working out). There’s something both beautiful and joyous about this pic; I think it’s going to be my inspiration today as I continue to struggle through.

STOP THIS UNREASONABLE CRUELTY RIGHT NOW.

Seriously, we can class this as a crime against nature, right? I’m not just imagining that…?

Once again, whatever you may think is spectacular, the natural world will quietly – or not, in this circumstance – remind you that it can beat that shit effortlessly.

A little – Okay, a lot, but there were deadlines and I overslept – late, but from the Guardian’s Photo Blog:

A copy of ‘Le Poete de l’Enfance’ from 1846 measuring 27mm x 19mm.

I love the idea that countless people just nap on that wall, all day. I mean, look at the right of the pic: There’s someone else napping, too! It’s not just that one guy! Every major city in the world should have an officially designated nap wall for people to take a load off in the middle of the day.

A worker sweeps the floor while people attend a preview of the Luminarium, an inflatable sculpture by British artist Alan Parkinson, before its opening at the United Nations European headquarters in Geneva. Until June 14, diplomats, UN officials, school children and communities will be invited to visit the 1000 square metre structure to think more creatively about how to make the work of the Human Rights Councils better understood through discussions and art performances.

I want to be there.
