No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever, at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction; a blessed unrest that keeps us marching and makes us more alive than others.

Ambedo
ambedo n. a kind of melacholic trance in which you become completely absorbed in vivid sensory details—raindrops skittering down a window, tall trees leaning in the wind, clouds of cream swirling in your coffee—which leads to a dawning awareness of the haunting fragility of life

In the opening scene of Antonya Nelson’s story “Chapter Two,” which ran in last week’s issue, the protagonist describes her eccentric neighbor: “She was known in the neighborhood for being a character—some composite of Miss Havisham, Norma Desmond, and Scarlett O’Hara—her ancient family manse, with its aspect of ruined wedding cake, fenced off as if to contain inmates, its fetid kidney-shaped pool, by which her multiple orange cats congregated.”
To create the photograph that accompanies the story, Emily Shur sought to recreate that scene, and hired six orange cats, which were accompanied by four cat trainers. Some of the cats, one trainer explained, are more trained then others. “We have a couple that are up-and-coming, and some that are nearing retirement,” she said. “There’s some that we can probably get to sit in a row; others are used to the craziness of a set, but don’t have a lot of behavioral training.” The shoot took four and a half hours as the handlers coaxed the cats into position with the aid of string tethers and food.

I believe that dance may be one of the most honest forms of expression for us to cherish: because when people dance, whether in a ballet performance, a hip-hop battle, an underground contemporary show or just in a discotheque, cutting loose, there are seldom any lies deployed, any masks worn. People reflect each other constantly, but when they dance, perhaps what they reflect most is that moment of honesty.
