Trump on the Nobel: "Nobody in history has solved eight wars in a period of nine months. And I've stopped eight wars. That's never happened before. But they'll have to do what they do. Whatever they do is fine."

This is one of my favorite aspects of it. It felt like the whole Bay was impossibly large with so much to explore and yet it was so easy to explore.

Also, just generally, a lot of good friends. That's been great.

Thanks to my PaperCutPrayers art project and the surprising following I gained, I became friends with some of my favorite artists and got flown across country to lead retreats. And I'm still leading classes! It's all very deeply healing.

I always say this but I should get back to sharing more.
