No rush

Your life without a computer: what does it look like?

More postcards and personal letters.  More in-person visits. More long conversations. More hours where “unreachable” is real.

More typewriters, Xerox, fax machines. More quiet evenings and comfortable silences, more of the Old World that disappeared.

No more computers? Time would slow down immediately.

Underwater Basket Weaving

What skill would you like to learn?

Can you imagine what an amazing basket weaver you’d have to be to be able to do weave baskets under water?

Not to mention how you’d be an exceptional diver, too, if you can basket weave without diving gear. The lung capacity!

So, you’d be a great diver and you’d be amazing at basket weaving. And wouldn’t that mean the baskets you weave would endure under water? Because they’d have to hold, wouldn’t they?

Wouldn’t that make them especially robust in, say, beach spaces? They’d be sustainable, too, wouldn’t they? No more plastics. 100% organic beach supplies.

Amazing diving skills, incredible dexterity, and sustainable beach supplies. Imagine the possibilities…

A touch of whimsy

What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

It seems so trivial, but it’s so important: Those moments of simple levity. A treasure.

A little more whimsy. A little more “Just Because.” Why? No reason. Just because.

Slow down

What’s your #1 priority tomorrow?

Prio 1: Enjoy existence.

*

When you grab a snack or get another cup of coffee: do a breathing exercise as well.

Take a moment to recalibrate.

You are here. It is now.

*

We are collectively hurtling through space while circling a star.

We arrive with ourselves, we leave with ourselves.

Everything else is details.

Why are you dreaming of labor?

Daily writing prompt
List three jobs you’d consider pursuing if money didn’t matter.

Who dreams of labor but those who cannot escape it?
Why allow your mind to be chained?

Pursue a dream. A real dream, a preposterous thing.
The kind that makes the dull scream: Impossible!

Unshackle your soul from the humdrum.
Think beyond the past.
Dream true dreams.

Live.
