Feeling low on energy?
Pause for a moment,
take a deep breath,
close your eyes, and
immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of Marcin playing the Midnight Sonata on a single guitar.
For the best experience, I highly recommend using headphones or a high-quality audio system. #Relaxation #MusicTherapy
And here I was thinking about building MQQT Nostr bridge. Turns out my 10 days fast is enough 😂
Congratulations!
