Maira Kalman takes us on a tour of all the things she loves—old abandoned couches, found numbers, hats—as she shares thoughts and recollections and speculations about life.
“My dream is to walk around the world. A smallish backpack, all essentials neatly in place. A camera. A notebook. A traveling paint set. A hat. Good shoes. A nice pleated (green?) skirt for the occasional seaside hotel afternoon dance.”
I think this quote gets at the essence of The Principles of Uncertainty, a collection of insightful musings while traveling, each with their own signature eccentricities and transcendent delight.
“We see trees, what more do we need?” Perhaps Maira to paint them. <3
