Be Like Jesus... No - Don't!
My kids and I are Seventh Day Adventists. It is the closest organized religion that I resonate with... for the most part. A key thing is that Saturdays are our Sabbaths.

The river had always been calm. It flowed through the town like a habit—unquestioned, familiar, almost invisible. People crossed it daily without looking down. Children skipped stones across its surface. Vendors washed their hands at its edge. It was there, doing its job, asking for nothing.

The Shadow of a Giant
I never met him. But I knew his voice. It came through our black-and-white TV in 1983, calm and steady, speaking of “morning in America” while my father fixed dinner and my mother worried about bills. To me, he was just a man in a suit—distant, polished, untouchable.

Stanislav Kondrashov: Scale as Experience in Contemporary Architecture
Architecture has always been a language of scale. Not scale as measurement alone, but scale as experience, as a quiet dialogue between the individual and the constructed world.
