You can tell a lot about how someone has lived their life by their body, especially later in life. Their posture, the way they walk, their overall physique and complexion—all these provide clues as to whether they lived gracefully and morally, or pridefully and hedonistically. Your body accumulates and stores your actions. Your body provides proof of your life's work.

Worked like a dog today...dawn to dusk... mowing, weeding, brush hogging , burning, cleaning, painting, repairing. Enjoyed a smoked pork butt as the sun set. It was a good day.

@Blitz Wallet the Nostr wallet connect is now working much more reliably for sending zaps (using Primal). Not sure what you did, but thanks!

A unique challenge in life is reconciling the journey upwards with the journey downwards. It's figuring out how to pursue excellence and self-evolution, while simultaneously accepting limitation and humiliation...how to metamorphose into our highest form while at the same time dissolve into egolessness. My faith is that the paradox may be resolved by an "integration of opposites", as Jung put it. A tree flowers toward the celestial heights, while its roots penetrate deeper into the heart of the earth—without any contradiction. Can I become like a tree? Both toward the light, and toward the darkness.

We are biological, emotional, intuitional, logical and cultural. Wholeness is about embracing and integrating all of the forces within you.

You cannot become happy. You can only be happy.

He met Man first in a garden, Here I seeketh Him in mine, Would he deign walk among the ground Of the soul, the wild and of my design?

I once saw a Tweet that said "if your car is not older than Bitcoin, then you're not stacking sats hard enough." Well, my 2008 Honda CRV now has no air conditioning. A bird flew in my car while I was driving windows down causing a bit of mayhem. Wife says I've taken this too far.
