“Resilient living is not an ode to dishwashing. Resilient repetitions are linked to the usage of aesthetically nourishing objects, to gratitude for the rhythms in nature, to steadily, gradually refining a skill, to the pleasure of slow creation—and the appreciation of slowly created objects—to creating momentous rituals with communities, friends, and family, and to finding a stimulating work-life balance and enjoying meaningful daily routines that allow for both efficiency and stillness. Resilient repetitions are nourishing because they have been consciously chosen by the individual.” Beauty QuotesResilience QuotesAesthetic QuotesRhythmsAesthetics BeautyRepetition Quotes Book:Anti-trend, Resilient Design and the Art of Sustainable Living Source: Anti-trend, Resilient Design and the Art of Sustainable Living
