If you follow me on Instagram you will know that I attended the Brooklyn edition of the Kinfolk dinner yesterday eve. The above photo evidence being but one example of the loveliness that ensued. It was a treat, a privilege and yes, felt magical to meet many whom I had only seen or spoken with over the digital airwaves. 

Everyone was lovely and just pleased to be a part of a project that they enjoyed. But what struck me most was a statement Nathan Williams { Kinfolk Editor } made about finding quiet moments in this never quiet city.

Lately I have been looking outside of this brash city to find peace and quiet,  air to think and opportunity to gather. In so doing I came to realise that I was looking for something that I already had in my possession. Nathan's speech reconfirmed what my introspection revealed. These moments, scenarios and  peace is something one has to CREATE regardless of where you are. Quiet can be achieved, gathering can be emotionally nourishing, conversation upbuilding and food only if you make it so. 

The city really does fade - it becomes a tapestry behind your window pane, but it only does it if you let it. Else it will take over. 

I am resolved to create more carefully curated moments in my life. Because in the very least it feels good.
