Why do we treat ritual, except in a few narrow contexts (church/temple/mosque) as unsophisticated, strange, uncultured, or even pathological? Because it doesn’t produce anything of economic value? Matthew 16:26

Why do we at best discount and at worst denigrate the elderly? Why do we only see the negative things that we might not like anymore?

When’s the last time you felt really *seen*, as a whole being, and not some subset of external traits… it’s been a long time for me

I wish I lived in a tribal community
This modern western lack of stable community - everyone always coming and going, bound only by relationships of production and ever changing interests, rather than something deeper and fundamental

What am I wanting when nothing needs to be done

Climbing up, climbing in, one giving his whole life’s work to one night, no olives on the whim of god

One kicked, one loved, one gone through

One watched, one done, one sliced through, one been

Being abused as a kid, I sought safety by going toward people who would bully me, while disparaging and mentally separating myself others who were more similar to me because I didn’t want to be reminded of the traits that made me a target

Western post-industrialized institutions almost exclusively support material comfort and technological development while ignoring the fundamental person

I can hardly relay the ways in which being forced into a hypersocial school environment molded me in harmful ways that I am now facing.

My energy is all yielding, all small, I need to work on more issuing, more expansion

The great circle of California

Soft California - the outside rim of relatively carved and green coastal hills, sea meets land, temperate climate, running unbroken and then capping off the Central Valley near Redding

The whole world a residue of a faraway process
I am nothing more than residual heat and light of an unresponsive sun
Which sunbeam originally made me? Which photon started me on this path?

The tripoint of sea, mountain, and sky … unstoppable force meets immovable object meets undefined BAM

The drama going on outside, and the drama inside each of us

Look not outside yourself - you already have it

You are the carrot, you are the stick, and you are the rabbit
