Emily’s wisdom

November 9, 2025
Artist Emily Carr

Do not try to do extraordinary things, but do ordinary things with intensity. From Canadian artist and author Emily Carr’s journal, Nov. 16, 1931.

I’ve written about her previously: here and here. Excerpts from her extensive journals have been collected and published, the book titled “Hundreds and Thousands.”
