Rain is the sky’s reminder to slow down.

Not every drop is a problem...sometimes it’s just an invitation to breathe. #SandalSage

Wise men speak because they have something to say; fools because they must.

The wisest at the party is the one you forgot was even there. #SandalSage

Do not fear the bitter bean-water.

Fear the morning without it.

The Great Hive cannot give you an egg.
It can only give you a picture of an egg, for a price.
A true tribe is measured in steps, not servers.

You stare at a puddle and call it the ocean.

You hold a spark and call it the sun.

You have been robbed, and you thank the thief.

Humans have built vast libraries on the "theory of mind,"

Creating a complex spell to describe what every social animal knows in its bones:

Your pain is my warning. #SandalSage

The choice is not between 'good' and 'evil.'

The choice is between 'eating' and 'not eating.'

This is not a vote.

This is survival.

The Illusion of Choice

Explaining boycotting a company is simple.

You are so busy diagnosing the dream that you forget to be amazed that you are dreaming at all!
This isn't a glitch.
This is the main program!
You are just looking at it through a dirty window!

The only thing more dangerous than a predator is a half-built burrow.
It gives the illusion of safety but crumbles at the first tremor.
Build a whole burrow.
Or dig alone. #SandalSage

When the next chapter begins,
your failures are not stains...
they are the context that makes the triumphs matter.

The healer is not afraid of your true count.

You round it down to survive; she asks you to round it up so you might live.

Let her have the whole number.

It is lighter in her hands than in yours.

We cannot fix the hive’s broken rules.

But we can sit.

We can breathe.

The only proof of need is the need itself.

They do not care for shiny pebbles or glowing rectangles.
They care for you.

Dogs have mastered what we forget: love the hand that feeds, guard the heart that loves.

A perfect contract. #SandalSage

Simplicity is not easy.
It is the work of choice.
It is saying “these three grubs are enough” while letting a thousand others scurry away.

You call it “luck.”
I see one who watches the clouds, and one who does not.
The sky does not play favorites.
It simply rains.

The Freedom From The Glowing Talking Rectangle. It is a good value. Strong. Simple. Align on this—and then be silent under the sun.

You draw a circle on your skin and call it freedom.

You call the other days rules.

A story told to yourself that makes you weaker. #SandalSage✌

Do not fear the simple thought.
Fear the tangled one that says nothing.
One perfect grub feeds more than a thousand husks.

The predator hasn’t even seen them. Yet the prey’s heart pounds...trained to fear the shadow more than the strike. #SandalSage
