Tumblr (3.0; @dkhicks)http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/“It’s dark because you are trying too hard. Lightly child, lightly. Learn to do everything lightly. Yes, feel lightly even though you’re feeling deeply. Just lightly let things happen and lightly cope with them. I was so preposterously serious in those days…Lightly, lightly—it’s the best advice ever given me. So throw away your baggage and go forward. There are quicksands all about you, sucking at your feet, trying to suck you down into fear and self-pity and despair. That’s why you must walk so lightly. Lightly, my darling.”<br/><br/> - <em>Aldous Huxley (via <a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://pigmenting.tumblr.com/">pigmenting</a>)</em>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/45008623766http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/45008623766Sun, 10 Mar 2013 03:23:31 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m64sufDP7Y1qec6p1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>pacific ocean, just after the storm. </p>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/25789606510http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/25789606510Sun, 24 Jun 2012 13:06:14 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_ltyauu1KpH1qexf8eo8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://www.itsokaytobesmart.com/post/21995717597/mymirrorball-vintage-inspired-posters-of-the">jtotheizzoe</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://mymirrorball.tumblr.com/post/12174429657/vintage-inspired-posters-of-the-planets-by-stephen">mymirrorball</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>Vintage-inspired posters of the planets by Stephen Di Donato</em></p> </blockquote> <p>These are a fine complement to Steve Thomas’s <a href="http://www.itsokaytobesmart.com/post/20503686281/vintage-space-travel-posters-from-the-genius-i">awesome vintage planetary travel posters</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/22121177629http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/22121177629Mon, 30 Apr 2012 09:41:29 -0400<p><span> <p><em>New York</em><br/><em>November 10, 1958</em></p> <p><em>Dear Thom:</em></p> <p><em>We had your letter this morning. I will answer it from my point of view and of course Elaine will from hers.</em></p> <p><em>First—if you are in love—that’s a good thing—that’s about the best thing that can happen to anyone. Don’t let anyone make it small or light to you.</em></p> <p><em>Second—There are several kinds of love. One is a selfish, mean, grasping, egotistical thing which uses love for self-importance. This is the ugly and crippling kind. The other is an outpouring of everything good in you—of kindness and consideration and respect—not only the social respect of manners but the greater respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had.</em></p> <p><em>You say this is not puppy love. If you feel so deeply—of course it isn’t puppy love.</em></p> <p><em>But I don’t think you were asking me what you feel. You know better than anyone. What you wanted me to help you with is what to do about it—and that I can tell you.</em></p> <p><em>Glory in it for one thing and be very glad and grateful for it.</em></p> <p><em>The object of love is the best and most beautiful. Try to live up to it.</em></p> <p><em>If you love someone—there is no possible harm in saying so—only you must remember that some people are very shy and sometimes the saying must take that shyness into consideration.</em></p> <p><em>Girls have a way of knowing or feeling what you feel, but they usually like to hear it also.</em></p> <p><em>It sometimes happens that what you feel is not returned for one reason or another—but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.</em></p> <p><em>Lastly, I know your feeling because I have it and I’m glad you have it.</em></p> <p><em>We will be glad to meet Susan. She will be very welcome. But Elaine will make all such arrangements because that is her province and she will be very glad to. She knows about love too and maybe she can give you more help than I can.</em></p> <p><em>And don’t worry about losing. If it is right, it happens—The main thing is not to hurry. Nothing good gets away.</em></p> <p><em>Love,</em></p> <p><em>Fa</em></p> </span></p>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15917497532http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15917497532Sun, 15 Jan 2012 20:00:40 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxfvrkfGhv1qed3v1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://hea-rt.tumblr.com/post/15480330590">hea-rt</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>(by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stephanhauptmann/5709859626/in/faves-i_stolethemoon/">Stephan Georg Hauptmann</a>)</p> </blockquote>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15533655180http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15533655180Sun, 08 Jan 2012 18:01:12 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx9chxPU5Q1r9vt86o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://vintage-national-geographic.tumblr.com/post/15281120341/california-1973-photographed-by-david-hiser">vintage-national-geographic</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><em>California, 1973</em></p> <p>photographed by David Hiser</p> </blockquote>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15286890304http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15286890304Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:30:18 -0500<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lx8yjwGskZ1qhyj1jo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://thelightandthedark.tumblr.com/post/15264530348/diamonds-national-geographic">thelightandthedark</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Diamonds, National Geographic<span> </span></p> </blockquote>http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15286842648http://dkhicks.tumblr.com/post/15286842648Wed, 04 Jan 2012 02:28:31 -0500<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o8_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o9_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwgu22u25S1r1w416o10_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://staceythinx.tumblr.com/post/14474987394/vintage-science-ads-from-the-1950s-1960s-see">staceythinx</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Vintage Science ads from the 1950’s - 1960s.
