Chloe: Critic Girl/Renaissance Woman

Pomegranate Cider and the New Renaissance of Chloe

Filed under: Think Like Leo, Chloe

Sipping a glass of pomegranate cider in my skivs; nibbling on a bit of organic milk chocolate truffle in the afternoon. Sheer delight. And a lovely entree into the latest project for this space of mine.

I have made several attempts to start following the “How To Think Like Leonardo da Vinci” program (by Michael Gelb) which actually codifies a lot of what I find worthy in life. I find myself constantly amazed at the world around me, thinking of what a certain pattern of moving cars would look like from above, or how a child would perceive some newfangled creation, or what I felt the first time I saw a sunset, cat, homeless person, etc.

One shouldn’t need a book, let alone an entire step by step program, to rekindle fascination with the world, appreciation of sensual and sensuous pleasures, and intellectual curiousity. But, I am a self-proclaimed self-help addict with undertones of anal retentiveness. I use plans and schedules like a parapalegic uses her wheelchair. They are my main source of mobility, and frankly, I feel stranded without them. (Another quality I’m perpetually trying to rid myself of in a positive fashion).

And so, today, a day without new Netflix treats, I will begin to transcribe my developments here, in addition to my film chatter and in and out food and wine chatter as well.

I have to learn how to archive by topic, since I also want to include some simple living chatter as well and it would be nice to be able to organize (for myself) these missives. I’m sure it’s just a google or a ‘help’ click away.
