Beautiful conversations, people, places, design+photography
We hold these truths to be self-evident:
that all men are created equal,
that they are endowed by their Creator
with certain unalienable rights,
that among these are life, liberty
and the pursuit of happiness.
― Thomas Jefferson, “The Declaration of Independence”
Swinging to me personifies the meaning of happiness.
It’s the everyday simple pleasures unencumbered with
fleeting moments of freedom that I treasure the most.
This is a gem and so worth taking
5 minutes to read and ponder.
I love these vintage black and white photos. They capture a sense of random happiness, something we have all too little of in the world. They act as a visual antidote to the seemingly endless litany of bad news all around.
