“But culture change can’t be achieved through top-down mandate. It lives in the collective hearts and habits of people and their shared perception of ‘how things are done around here.’ Someone with authority can demand compliance, but they can’t dictate optimism, trust, conviction, or creativity.” Nice!

Gathered my David Austin Roses from the garden yesterday evening along with a few spiders that crawled into my hair and down my back. Nice! They make me happy! Roses and spiders! Here are a few fascinating facts about roses:

World’s oldest living rose? 1,000 years old. Grows on the wall of the Cathedral of Hildesheim in Germany. Documented since A.D. 815.

World’s most expensive rose? The 2006 variety, Juliet, bred by David Austin and goes for $5 million.

In 2002, the miniature rose “Overnight Scentsation” was transported into space to study the effects of low gravity on the smell of roses.

Sara Berman’s Closet from NewYorker on Vimeo. It’s amazing what we learn about people by what they keep and how they cherish these things. Artefacts of life. The narrative is so complex and yet distilled down to this beautifully kept closet. Love this.
