Happy Monday!
I published a longer-form piece this past Friday about driving cars, here it is in case you missed it.
Now, back to our regularly-schedule programming.
Quick read
The seasons of life by Katherine May
We are in the habit of imagining our lives to be linear, a long march from birth to death in which we mass our powers, only to surrender them again, all the while slowly losing our youthful beauty.
This is a brutal untruth.
Life meanders like a path through the woods.
We have seasons when we flourish and seasons when the leaves fall from us, revealing our bare bones.
Given time, they grow again.

This day in history
489 years ago today, on August 29th 1533, Atahuallpa, the 13th and last emperor of the Incas, died by strangulation at the hands of Francisco Pizarro’s Spanish conquistadors. The execution of Atahuallpa, the last free reigning emperor, marked the end of 300 years of Inca civilization.
