Oh. This.
98 year old dobri dobrev, a man who lost his hearing in the second world war, walks 10 kilometers from his village in his homemade clothes and leather shoes to the city of sofia, where he spends the day begging for money.
Though a well recognized fixture around several of the city’s chruches, known for his prostrations of thanks to all donors, it was only recently discovered that he has donated every penny he has collected — over 40,000 euros — towards the restoration of decaying bulgarian monasteries and churches and the utility bills of orphanages, living entirely off his monthly state pension of 80 euros and the kindness of others.

Cult of Speed: On writing by Paul Kingsnorth
On writing

Staircase Design by Philip Watts
The things you can’t copy are the the things you can’t replace.
This stunning Pocket Watch designed by People People is grabbing the attention of many with its super minimal approach.
