Started into this week by finalising the next PRESENT Newsletter which I shipped on Wednesday afternoon, announcing big news: Issue 3 is ready to pre-order!

I'm excited for the next month as we will preview much more of the magazine for you and work on organizing all upcoming launch events 👀

Worn out from the last weeks we felt the need to recharge. I took a flight to Paris to join Sarah. We woke up at 5:00 the next morning to catch the first train to Marseille and from there to La Ciutat, an incredible little town, birthplace of the cinema and pétanque ☀️

We stayed at a beautiful little house that Sarah discovered, surrounded by massive calanques and lush forrests. In flightmode for days. Laying in the sun and reading. But the best was the smell of pine trees mixed with warm summer air. Heaven! I felt grateful.

”How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and, therefore, the quality of our lives.” ~Sam Harris

Input:
✺ We watched Past Lives by Celine Song, which is a masterfully directed movie with incredible acting
✺ I’m reading Make Something Wonderful a book with collected texts and interviews from Steve Jobs which I found quite beautiful and inspiring. Whatever your view on this man, give it a try here
‍‍✺ What happened last week? is a great weekly newsletter by Sham Jaff curating news headlines from Asia, Africa and Latin America with the goal to help you burst your Western-centric bubble‍
