One thing I’ve been trying to find out recently is why the sky feels bigger in certain places. Do you know what I mean? I've noticed it in Australia, Nepal, The Pyrenees, and most recently Texas. I took this photo to capture that moment in Texas, but it doesn’t really capture it at all.

I was in a beat-up graffiti-covered car with another artist called Damien–feeling pretty invincible about the situation–when I noticed it. The sky felt infinite and huge in a way that it doesn't in most places.
So I asked Damien why the sky was so big in Texas, forgetting that he wasn't from Texas. He didn't know the answer either, but agreed that the sky definitely felt huge. We talked about it a little and decided it was probably due to wide open spaces and the curvature of the earth, then went back to feeling great.
I’ve googled it several times since then and that seems to be the most common answer. But it's still not an answer that feels satisfying. Not in the way that “the horizon is 3 miles away” feels satisfying anyway. But maybe it’s better like that, some mysteries are best left as mysteries. We don't need to know everything.
This is the car by the way, you can see why we felt so good?

I have one last piece of news, I recently redesigned my website and added a blog. I'll be writing about the subjects I cover in my books, and probably some others. So if you like these emails maybe you'll like the blog too. My first post was about 5 Self-Help Books That Might Actually Help. Here are those books...

Ok, well that's all for now. Thanks for receiving and reading this email. You can reply if you want to say hi, discuss facts, or send me a photo of your horizon.
You could also just carry on with your day.
