A gorgeous day,  went to the produce market for apples and sweet potatoes, went to early vote, and got my flu shot.  

Baked a loaf of Apple Butter Bread with maple glaze yesterday.  Not my favorite.  Neighbors will appreciate it.

Sometimes there is an opening
 in what you call time. That’s when you hear the voices
 from long before your own silken life of a soul was born.

Two years ago:

- We didn't have internment camps

- We didn't have masked military shooting people in the streets - We weren't at war in the middle east

- We funded science

- We funded education

- We weren't handing over public land to oil companies

- We were friends with Canada, Mexico and Europe

- Gas was 1/2 what it is now

- Solar and Wind energy was a good thing

- Inflation was going down, not up

- Our food was safer

There is not ONE SINGLE THING better now than 2 yrs ago

"We need to be more like penguins. We leave no-one in the cold.

We need to be more like ravens. We don’t reward bad behaviour.

We need to be more like honeybees. We build collective intelligence

We need to be more like forests. We keep power in check.

We need to be more like elephants. We are guided by empathy."

Francis Fukuyama is downright prophetic, isn’t he?

Unfortunately, I really believe that this is true for some people.

The thing nobody tells you about growing up is that seasons survive you.

." i miss the version of me who could spend entire afternoons looking at clouds and feel productive. i miss the way summer used to stretch. i miss boredom. god, i miss boredom. children complain about being bored because they do not understand its luxury. boredom is proof that time belongs to you. now every moment seems monetized, optimized, scheduled, documented. even rest has become a project. even hobbies have become content. even joy has become performance. sometimes i wonder if half of adulthood is simply learning how to protect your wonder from efficiency"
