I’ve learned that transformation rarely happens in a straight line. It moves like rivers do — carving new paths by responding, not forcing.

The wild self is never truly lost. It simply waits for the moment when we remember who we were before the world taught us who to be.

There are moments when understanding comes not from thinking, but from listening — quietly, honestly, without trying to control the outcome.

Cranberries and I were strangers,
kept politely far apart—
until a velvet curd arrived
in a hazelnut-kissed tart.
One silken bite, and suddenly
my taste buds changed their tune…
Who knew a ruby curd could make
my wary tongue attune? 😄

As I stood away from my laptop, & transitioned to the couch, I started thinking:
Nature teaches in whispers...
A ripple, a shift of wind, a stand of pines leaning together for decades.
Its lesson is simple:
Balance is practiced, not claimed —
and survival is always shared.

#Psychology explains behavior.
#Biology explains adaptation.
#Ecology explains consequence.
Together they form something close to a #Starfleet directive:
👉 Understand the organism.
👉 Respect the environment.
👉 Do not break the balance.

Thunder cracks across the vale,
Rain descends with hints of hail.
Yet in the storm’s unbridled sweep—
I find my calm, and drift to sleep.

So far, a successful experiment! I may nail this! If I do, this will become my vegetarian/vegan recipe 😃.

Similar here. Coffee & pie (3 kinds 🤤) to start the morning, then: wrote an article, read some Asimov, upgraded my primary PC, configured a new Linux home server, & fell down the usual documentary rabbit holes. Spent sometime here. A productive Black Friday all things considered (with 0 $pending). 😃

I'm craving spaghetti, but I just discovered that I'm out of ground meat, and I have no desire to drive to the store. I think that I'll be experimenting with flavors and textures to simulate the genuine article!
On top of my head, I'm thinking lentils with the rest of my traditional sauce recipe. 🤔

It may be helarious to point out that way before I learned about Eisenhower's warning, I captured the lesson while reading "The Adventures of Tintin" (Les Aventures de Tintin) comics as a child! 🤷

Hair spray. ChapStick. Driving isotoners, windows rolled down, interstate speeds, & Modern Talking playing on the surround sound system, equalized w/ a volume that will please any audiophile!... that's on a two hour roundtrip journey to the 1st family reunion shindig of the year! Totally worth it! 😄

Gratitude is easy when life is steady. The real test is whether we extend that care & gratitude outward — to the Earth that feeds us, the people who suffer unseen, & the fragile future we’re borrowing from the children.
Peace & prosperity worth being thankful for always begin with responsibility. ♥️

Moreover, both are paid for, and report to their handlers at AIPAC first before they even speak... which is the same organization Drumpf and his handlers are paid by, and report to, too. 😐
