In spite of everything--in spite of every single thing--protect this feeling and keep it safe and one day it will do the same for you.

Men started this.
Then left it all for us.
All this power and I am not complaining.
These achieve what your Uggs never will.

Felicitous?

Or, frankly the best idea I have seen on social media this decade.

United just cleared my Polaris upgrade 6 min before boarding. New last min record here.

These points were expiring in 2 wks so this is insanely lucky. Redeye to Berlin that they wanted $$$ for. I had a 3 hr delay for the first leg of the trip & had to cancel calls but now am
like, ok forgiven.

This may seem trite. And obvious, but warrants repeating: in nature there are not straight lines. Only gentle curves.

Rigidity, binary constructs and certainty are at odds with the natural world and our internal world.

Hugs are made of curves and I find solace in arches wherever I find them.

Perplexed?
Focused?
Distressed?
Playful?

What you observe or surmise is the clearest insight into...you.

A path to female empowerment may involve protest, speaking out, pushing for legislation and voting.

A path may also embody absolute insistence upon one's self-worth, remaining goal-focused and striving beyond victimhood.

Both are noble.

Four decades after the Reagan-era push to defund public education, we’re right where experts warned we’d be: 20th globally, far from first. America is the greatest lost opportunity.

She chased paparazzi off her Roman villa with a bow and arrow — no apologies, no permission. A woman defending her autonomy with style and fire. In today’s age of surveillance and authoritarian creep, we need that energy. #BodyAutonomy #ResistFascism #RadicalElegance #ConsentCulture

30 year old equity bond trading capital investor guys who manage thousands if not MILLIONS of dollars:

"Playstation Saragon of Thor, unlocked, multi-user, creator mode"

And I'm like, "I love that cartoon" then squat down because it makes me dizzy how hot anime and gaming are. Hot.

Context is all and you discover this as you:

Open the door of your hotel room?
Pass an unhoused person's encampment?
Enter Grandpa's bedroom?
Climb into your hospice bed?

The physical body and physical mind cannot differentiate between between positive stressors (social) and negative stressors (Venezuela, ICE).

Invest in cultivating a detailed imaginary refuge until it becomes a detailed real place. When you visit, practice deep breathing always.

Retired my banner image.

To me it, it speaks to attention to moments, tradition, craftsmanship and elegance.

Though what it speaks to me is not necessarily what it speaks to everyone.

Image whimsically depicts the follies of INTENTION and FOCUS.

We must not think too much of our plans and designs.

We are like the cat.

Desirous of being taken seriously, laughed at by the universe who has already planned and designed.

Gentle stone arches, diamond tile, and statues in quiet procession. Light moves through history here—measured, deliberate, reverent. A corridor impresses and endures.

A corridor is also a reminder of passage of time. There are beginnings and ends.
