I’d like to share an app to that can bring a touch more magic to an otherwise less adventurous summer. It’s called Randonautica. The makers of the app didn’t invent the activity, but they did bring it into the mainstream. I’ll explain with a short story.
A friend and I met up a few days ago to hang out. I told him we would try out Randonautica together, with a brief explanation of what it is. The way it works is we would come up with an intention and then see where the random location generator would lead us. The generator determines coordinates within your given area. We declared our intention as Friendship. We drove about ten minutes from my apartment to the coordinates, which took us to someone’s house. Seemed like a bust. We pulled over and noticed a Little Free Library. We looked through the books and I said, “Hey you like the author Pete Hamill don’t you?” My buddy said, “Yeah I do. Only a good friend would know that… There’s our intention!” We both were inspired to pick out a few books to take with us.
With limited travel these days I recommend trying Randonautica out for yourself and inviting in potentially magical moments. If you look up other people’s stories, you’ll see there are some crazy encounters being reported. ✨
While at the beach this past weekend I noticed how the low tide had carved gentle rivulets in the sand, peppered with stones and shells. Thought they were pretty enough to share.
“There is no such thing as race. None. There is just a human race. Scientifically, anthropologically, racism is a construct — a social construct. And it has benefits. Money can be made off of it, and people who don’t like themselves can feel better because of it. It can describe certain kinds of behavior that are wrong or misleading. So it has a social function, racism.” – Toni Morrison
Humanity has known the exploitation of the environment around the world is not tenable. And yet day after day, year after year, decade after decade we haven’t taken enough measures to change our behavior. If the corona virus is a message, the meaning is clear. 🌸 Prints available 🌟 Support my cause at Patreon.com/adamsdoyle 😊
As challenging as this pandemic is for humanity, we may take consolation in the good our pause is doing for the planet. I took a break from thinking about the Corona virus to paint this, titled Bella Terra.
New painting created in appreciation for those who go to work each day to help every individual survive the virus through this pandemic. She wears the crown of the cities she protects. 🙏🌸❤️🌟
Thank you to the doctors & nurses on the front line in the fight to save lives 🙏 I’m inspired by your dedication and compassion through this ordeal. 💐❤️
