Good morning from the front of fire 168. It's just after 8. Been up for close to an hour. The third day of my 6 day vacation, or as my Supervisor called it: staycation.
We're all sick with head and chest colds. Haven't done much. The usual keep the animals watered, split firewood over at my mom's with Hayden, keep the fire going here, and the occasional get sucked into this or that outrage on social media.
That's the worst. I feel like a sucker most of the time. Like Jack Dorsey (founder of Twitter) said in a talk I listened to recently. To paraphrase, the social media platforms are programming us. We think about and focus on what they want us to focus on.
It creates division outside and inside ourselves. There I go generalizing.. It creates division outside and inside myself. How do I know what it's doing to others. It sure looks that way though.
So I turn to tending plants and the land. The third option. The option that calms the inner and outer division. The option that helps me remember that death is life, and life is death.
