LEAVES
Trees stand for years & weather many storms.
Technology was influential in the LAST election.
Leaves blow in the wind & float down the stream.
A trout waits for a meal & ignores the leaves.
The leaves decay & feed the insects that become food for the fish.

Books vs social media;
While books foster deeper cognitive processes, critical thinking & sustained attention,
social media is fun & informing, yet can lead to shorter attention spans, shallower engagement, and poor moods due to its addictive design and exposure to fragmented, polarizing content.

Integrity refers to being honest, trustworthy, and reliable. Leaders with integrity practice what they preach and own up to their mistakes, as opposed to hiding them, blaming Biden or making excuses.

Returned from camping. It was so fun to not bring a cell phone for two weeks. Brought a book instead. So enjoyable. I want to be more caring for those in my circle of influence.

A clean sky is blue. Loving your neighbor includes caring for future generations. The environment matters. I love hiking mountain trails under a bright blue sky.

The greedy want economic growth like we had after WWII. They want money more than they care about anyone. Electing a lying conman was never going to help anyone except the greedy people with no integrity.

My heart is a garden where thought flowers grow.
The thoughts that I think are the seeds that I sow.
Every kind loving thought bears a kind loving deed,
And a thought that is selfish is just like a weed.

What you focus on matters.
That’s why thy tech bros want you on their social media.
Tapping into a broader more truthful view is always better.
Work with integrity. Eat for health. Get outside. Catch a wave.
Read a book. No screens after 8pm. Get quality sleep.
Perspective matters.

All truth passes through three stages: First, it is ridiculed; second, it is violently opposed; and third, it is accepted as self-evident

Decline in marriages (1970s) was a symptom of a disease. Trump is a symptom of that disease. Not taking Wisdom seriously is a cause of that disease & it works over time like pesticides in food & water altering DNA sequences epigenetically. Epigenetic changes were & are passed to future generations.

Unbiased critical thinking gets at the truth by considering multiple perspectives, and making decisions based on evidence rather than personal biases. I want to increasingly do this in a caring way.

The first step to self-defense is being aware of surroundings. Nice to have a few friends to trust. I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
