Disquiet Junto Project 0643: Stone Out of Focus
Dear Members of the Disquiet Junto,
I’ve begun to hear from folks who might be able to participate in a Disquiet Junto event in Scotland should we schedule such a thing this summer. Do get in touch if this is of interest.
Yoko Ono’s book Grapefruit turns 60 this year. This week’s project is inspired by it. Heck, the Disquiet Junto was inspired by it, among other things.
And thanks, as always, for your generosity with your time, creativity, and curiosity.
Best from San Francisco,
. . .
