Macky’s New York Photo Essay: Fly Away
Deborah Bryant Handwoven, RHS 1977
Ignorance lies not in the things you don't know, but in the things you know that ain't so. —Will Rogers (November 4, 1879 – August 15, 1935)
Observation:
I read this headline yesterday and recalled how earth shattering this used to sound.
Spotify's Employees Can Now Work Wherever They'd Like—No Office Required
Maybe that’s the real lesson of the pandemic, both for students and workers everywhere: desks in schools and corporate offices are becoming much less common.
We will eventually return to schools and offices, but I predict we’ll enter these buildings with a different perspective and likely a different reason for being there. I suppose we will wonder how all this time away will as Seth Godin wondered, effect our resilience, enthusiasm, cooperation, curiosity, collaboration, honesty, generosity and leadership. In other words, what does it mean to do well in school?
Spotify concluded their announcement with this:
the company added that its employees’ effectiveness “can’t be measured by the number of hours people spend in an office,” and that “work isn’t something our people come to the office for, it’s something they do.”
Amen.

Fly away.
People respond in such fun ways when they are in big open spaces - it really is a joy just to sit back and watch.
Shot on the west side of the Oculus looking east about 5 seconds before 9 security guards came over and picked me up by the boot straps - fly away ha...I got thrown away.
