Redstone Diary 2027: Living Well

There is a difference between living well and well being: the 2027 Redstone Diary explores the many faces of how we can find the good life, or find solace in its absence. Can joy be found in a moment – a kiss, o spoonful of tiramisu, the memory of last night, the quiet repose of reading under a tree? Or is it a practice that takes a lifetime, money, and good fortune to fulfill: Thoreau's retreat into the woods at Walden, the contemplation of the night skies, the studied nonchalance of bourgeois pleasures, or even the satisfaction of baking, which one writer calls "love made visible".
