AF: You should know Maria Popova

Hello, friends.

Maria Popova is one of the most studious, sensitive readers and writers on the planet.  She has been  producing Brain Pickings for many years now, so there is a rich archive to explore -- in it, she considers a theme and collects offerings from writers, scientists, poets of all kinds.  Her work always, always brings me something new to think about or admire.   If you can't find a way to read deeply and broadly, get acquainted with Maria Popova.  She can show you the way.

Here, her theme is the uncertainty that creative people must live with -- never really knowing whether your work is good enough, but the importance of pursuing your singular vision anyway.
