"What I want to tell you today is not to move into that world where you’re alone with your self and your mantra and your fitness program or whatever it is that you might use to try to control the world by closing it out. I want to tell you to just live in the mess. Throw yourself out into the convulsions of the world. I’m not telling you to make the world better, because I don’t believe progress is necessarily part of the package. I’m just telling you to live in it, to look at it, to witness it. Try and get it. Take chances, make your own work, take pride in it. Seize the moment."

- Joan Didion (1934-2021) at Bard College, Annandale-on-Hudson, N.Y. (via Time Magazine)

Dinka Man Imitating Horns

Location: South Sudan

Photographer: Carol Beckwith and Angela Fisher

At puberty a Dinka male receives a namesake ox after which he is named. He believes that he and the animal are one being. He trains the ox’s horns from calf-hood into beautiful lyre shapes, and emulates these shapes with his arms as he walks alongside his beloved personality ox.
