Rebecca Solnit was born on this day in 1961.
Musing takes place in a kind of meadowlands of the
imagination, a part of the imagination that has not yet been plowed, developed,
or put to any immediately practical use. Time spent there is not work time, yet
without that time the mind becomes sterile, dull, domesticated. The fight for
free space — for wilderness and public space — must be accompanied by a fight
for free time to spend wandering in that space.
Rebecca Solnit
