\u2026 I feel I\u2019m in desperate need of a palate cleanser from the nastiness I\u2019ve witnessed and endured all week. Not just on the internet, but in my everyday life and at work.<\/p>\n

Everybody\u2019s hot, cranky and fight-y.<\/p>\n

The only way to combat all the ugliness is to sit for awhile in beauty.<\/p>\n

Sit in it. Soak it up. Focus on the finer details<\/a>\u2026<\/p>\n

Anton Raphael Mengs, Dream of St. Joseph<\/em><\/p>\n

Turn up your speakers and take it all in\u2026<\/p>\n
