Each issue highlights a new artist, showcasing their work and creative process. I&#8217;ve always viewed collage as the most accessible art medium, yet I am consistently astounded, inspired, and humbled by the creations featured in this newsletter.

Half Hollywood biopic, half documentary commentary, it enlivens this mythical character with more depth. Everyone has heard part of his life, but the full story is far more interesting. Setting aside the immense degree that the character of Moses has shaped western civilization, this is a dramatic story well told. \u2013 KK<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Practice the art of contemplation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019ve been using the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/4e29c4e2-ee3e-4b7c-bdb2-40bd74258b12?j=eyJ1IjoicWhzZCJ9.43b2R3rw6IiN-HtRJgFPT8SnfQYuOnhFYxRGgrjtTgQ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Triple Flame<\/a>&nbsp;app (free, available on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/f95910b5-ab55-4791-965f-141a4cc568bc?j=eyJ1IjoicWhzZCJ9.43b2R3rw6IiN-HtRJgFPT8SnfQYuOnhFYxRGgrjtTgQ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Android<\/a>)for reminders to take a pause.

I appreciate being able to see how many other people are pausing at the same time. The contemplative quotes that pop up also encourage me to look inward. \u2014 CD&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3><strong>Search engine for podcasts and videos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/substack.com\/redirect\/98d3f778-a51c-46ff-9088-344792c6e398?j=eyJ1IjoicWhzZCJ9.43b2R3rw6IiN-HtRJgFPT8SnfQYuOnhFYxRGgrjtTgQ\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Dexa<\/a>&nbsp;is a new AI-powered search engine that indexes content from prominent podcasts and videos, making it easy to find the information you need.
