Delighted Dispatch

Mutable missives and messages from the depths of metamorphosis with an appreciation for the mundane. Curated to cultivate a greater sense of ambiguity and adoration for the in-between, each edition explores the unexpected and the idiosyncratic, seeking to instigate an entry point to the imagination. Delving into the dark as well as shining a light on delight, may these dispatches serve to bring you something worth discovering.

Curiosity unfurls centripetally from the self to the world, touching more and more facets of it with that electric jolt of discovery when everything is new and interesting and dazzling with delight… This openhearted curiosity, this aura of astonishment, becomes an antidote to the spiritual poison most corrosive to the world…the refusal to succumb to cynicism is among our greatest triumphs of the spirit; our mightiest force of courage and resistance to the cowardly denouncements of possibility that pock the countenance of humanity.
