This is fantastic. Need to read that Joan Didion essay.

Thank you, Mark. It's in Slouching Towards Bethlehem, short, often re-read. Just took a look at Myth & Meaning; clearly we're in adjacent rooms. Good to find you.

We all seem to forget the past too quickly. Then we wonder what we are going to talk about in this weeks article. Repurposing is a lost art.

"Repurposing is a lost art" — this is going to stay with us. There's something quietly tragic about how much of our own past attention we let go to waste. We're working on the next letter now, partly about what does survive when we don't repurpose. Thank you for reading carefully enough to say this.
