The books.

I have been reading reading reading.

((and because in the publishing world, magazines are called "the books", I can get away with talking in this post about both magazines and the traditionally book-bound...))

The Economist
on my lunch hour to engage with what's happening around the globe-- in governments, environments, cultures, advancements, and the arts.

National Geographic
also on my lunch hour to get in touch with the natural world-- the poorest of the poor-- the simple life of cultures far far away-- and what's really happening with our planet. The majority of the pages are full-page--photo-spreads of corners of this planet and life that I don't want to forget exist concurrently...

Other mags: Lucky, Wallpaper, Vogue, Swindle

... and by the way, these lists are all so-very true. All these so-varied snippets of thought have literally been impacting my world of late from so many angles... :)

A toast--
A toast to - learning about worlds that are not one's own.
- choosing to have more and more of the world in one's scope.
- engaging with a vocational field and
getting into the mind of a true business explorer...
- spending just a bit of time everyday reading reading reading.
