Share a line from one of Rimbaud’s poems— and so will I.
Double Dog Dare You.

Earlier today… peach ice cream. Delicious. #Pittsburgh (The Cathedral of Learning) #summer ☀️ 
Shade is one of many gifts a tree provides. I hope you had interesting thoughts to keep you company during your chores under your leafy refuge. Thanks for the pic.
I’m sorry for your loss— do you have any special memories with this tree.
Enjoy your 🔥
Crêpes with my nieces! #Pittsburgh #Summer 💙☀️ 
I’ve been experiencing the 7 stages of grief when I discovered the Beyoncé concert was cancelled in Pittsburgh. Grief is not sequential. (Keeping my thoughts to myself— for now.) I might get dressed up & dance around my house in August— the date when she was supposed to come to my city.
Pretty sure I got there first — share nicely 🤣
🤦🏻♀️

“You were once a citizen of a country called I Don’t Know.
Remember the burning boat that brought you there? Climb in.”
~Marie Howe
One more for now:
A quote from the actual book:
School
"This man had never known his father, but he often spoke to Jacques of him in a rather mythological way, and in any case at a critical time he knew how to take the father's role. That is why Jacques had never forgotten him, as if, having never really felt the lack of a father he had never known, he had nonetheless subconsciously recognized, first as a child, then during the rest of his life, the one paternal act both well thought out and crucial that had affected his life as a child. For M. Bernard, his teacher for the year of the certificat d'érudes, had at a given moment used all his weight as a man to change the destiny of this child in his charge, and he had in fact changed it.” ~Albert Camus 
Let’s focus on this quote from the article: “The notion of the self-made person lends further significance to the book's title. The "first man," the young Camus, had to bring himself up alone, without the authority and guidance of a father, without a heritage handed down. He had to work out his own truth and morality. But the title has broader implications as well, for it refers to Algeria itself, living in a vacuum, forgetful of its past, a "land of oblivion where each one is the first man."
Self-creation implies self-examination. But does it mean self-knowledge? The final chapter of the book is entitled "A Mystery to Himself." By way of the boy he remembers having been, Camus catches glimpses of his more lasting traits. Little Albert (named Jacques in the book) loathes conventional gestures and behavior; he is hot-blooded, rambunctious and capable of foolish acts; he adapts easily to all kinds of people and loves to try out roles; he has a will to be courageous that may be more precious than courage itself. His ravenous appetite for life is rooted in his early knowledge of death. The blind stirrings and dark fire he felt as a boy remain buried in him, and inform his intensely poetic perception of the world.”
I found an article for you since you did not know about Camus’ novel The First Man.
