How might it look? Let me show you.

How might it feel?
”I felt connected to it as if I were an ancient being viewing my present, past, and future all at once.”
“…talking the language of nature through art is one of the most powerful things our human species can do”

I mean, the Irish energy though... But yes, you have a good list going! (Just learned she was born in the US?!?!)
Screenshot about Saoirse Ronan from Wikipedia: Saoirse Una Ronan was born on 12 April 1994 in the Bronx borough of New York City,[4] the only child of Irish parents Monica[5] (née Brennan) and Paul Ronan, both from Dublin.[6] Her father worked in construction and in bars before training as an actor in New York,[7][8] and her mother worked as a nanny and had acted as a child.[8][9] Her parents were undocumented immigrants who had left Ireland due to the recession of the 1980s, and struggled economically during their time in New York.[6] The family moved back to Dublin when Ronan was three years old.[10] She was raised in Ardattin, County Carlow, where she attended Ardattin National School.[10] Her parents later had her tutored privately at home.[8] In her early teens, Ronan was living again in Dublin with her parents, who settled in the seaside village of Howth.[4][10]

Hello, 🌞 SUNday! The cottonwoods are clinging to their golden light. The birds are singing, the sky is deep blue, the doggy is wandering the woods. Come join us on our morning walk. 🔊 on, full screen, and wait for the surprise ending, if you view full screen! 🐕

Just remembered this favorite from on top of Haleakala on Maui! When was the last time you felt “on top of the world?” Make it happen today.

My dog voted. Please don't report her.

"I voted" says the sticker.

We are not prepared.

screenshot from the linked article in The Atlantic, final summary paragraph The biggest lesson of the past two decades of Silicon Valley is that Meta, Amazon, and Google—and even the newer AI labs such as OpenAI—have remade our world and have become unfathomably rich for it, all while being mostly oblivious or uninterested in the fallout. They have chased growth and scale at all costs, and largely, they’ve won. The data-center build-out is the ultimate culmination of that chase: the pursuit of scale for scale itself. In all scenarios, the outcome seems only to be real, painful disruption for the rest of us.

Few things are more inspiring than morning light. Add roses, and we are in heavenly territory.

What a fascinating question! Nothing comes to mind... at the time, i owned a fitness, dance, yoga studio. Taught first mindbody classes at IDEA convention, and also helped write the first int'l certification exam. So I was in deep! Photos from Japan, Zuni Pueblo, and Switzerland!

My happy place: inside a fern, inside an old growth forest. Nature loves us so much. As I tucked myself in, the sun came streaming down with its warmth. Nature is amazing; listen when it calls.
