Yesterday I forgot to meditate. In the past I might've cursed a broken streak or nurtured some remorse. Now? Just a subtle "aw."

Sometimes I feel like a failed meditator. I've read a lot about it. I maintained a 10-minute daily streak for a while. But I know I've never approached it the way that I've wanted to, that's taught, that I've known works.

Whenever I look at a satellite map of a city and its suburbs, or drive through one passing the scads of skyscrapers, my worries about the market being "there" for my business evaporate. The people are there. I just need to reach them.

A long, cleanly written post used to signal something thoughtful and important. Now it signals that the thinking around something probably not very important was outsourced to AI.

Sometimes I want to share more than I do, but almost always have a sneaking suspicion that ego is behind it. And so I do something else instead.

There is peace in the doing.

What we need is often where we least expect it. Allow yourself to be drawn to it.

The most important work we can do is moving from fear to trust in every area of our lives.

When feeling aimless, doing nothing is always an option. And it usually becomes something.

I often think I’m supposed to rest a certain way on weekends or evenings. And so try to force some fiction reading or inaction. When I let my energy flow in productive and creative direction it wants to, I feel more fulfilled. And then play video games at 10am on a weekday instead.

Always reach a point in the day where you have nothing left to do. Reschedule remaining tasks well in advance of bedtime, with total acceptance. The relief is palpable.

I’m enjoying Bluesky today. A gentle flow of interaction. Not much noise. It feels like strolling through a park and exchanging pleasantries with friends who are lying on their blankets, staring up at the sky musing about reality.

I’m trying out Bluesky. Very slowly.
