"We have the false promises of technological paradise and the awful directions that human life can take today, through the media. Everything is promised: a return to homeland, to peace, to stability, to justice. And nothing is delivered. Better, they promise heaven and deliver hell." Berrigan (1975)

I feel like we, Europeans, should remember that Spotify is a European company that paid for and profited from Joe Rogan's harmful content. Rogan was already spreading hate and racism when that deal was signed. We did not demand better from Spotify at that time and we still don't.

naming ceremony today in NY where my beloved teacher and friend Thich Nhat Hanh once lived
Thay would smile that the name is not a street, not a boulevard, not an avenue
“There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.”

Resting together.
I talk for a living. I have a podcast that I’ve been doing for the last 9 years and I love it. In the last week, I suddenly had horrible neck pain which was diagnosed as a herniated disc in my neck. A few days later, that pain triggered something called FND… and I lost my speech.

I have to admit: as a writer of fiction stories, I feel slightly threatened by ‘reality’ right now. “You can’t make this *bleep* up,” is very much a recurring thought.

that gives peace. Better than a thousand useless verses is one single verse that gives peace. Better than a hundred useless poems is one single poem that gives peace.” - The Dhammapada, verse 100-102

“In Taoism, it is posited that only when the mind is free from pragmatic concerns, free for playfulness in thinking, and spontaneity in action, can there be creativity. This is referred to as 'uselessness - having no practical purpose in view.
Creativity is not willed, and has no purpose.”
Creativity is not willed, and has no purpose.”

I choose joy today
Not a naive forgetting
Not an ignorant escape
I choose joy today
While holding all suffering
Right there within my smile
I can embrace it all
I can move this body
I can dance to Life
Not a naive forgetting
Not an ignorant escape
I choose joy today
While holding all suffering
Right there within my smile
I can embrace it all

In this fast-paced run of life, where everyone seems to chase shadows of success and material wealth, the simple melody of joy often fades into background noise. From the Yukon, I am sending joy, hope and positivity.
