The curse of memory is that memory robs us of being in the moment. We remember the last time we saw something and we see it as we remember it, rather than as it is NOW.

We feel what we felt before. We don’t walk up the stairs NOW, we...more

It was also during that time that I was first exposed to the anecdote behind the classical Cartier Love bracelet. As Louis, the founder of Cartier told himself, the love shapes on the bracelet are a result...more
