"The one who possessed silver,
The one who has possessed lapis,
The one who has possessed oxen,
The one who has possessed sheep --
At the gate of the one who has possessed barley,
Will spend the day there."
- Sumerian proverb
Translation in 2026: you can't eat money.

I drove some desert highways in the US. It’s brutal during the day, but if you’re fortunate enough to be in a quiet spot to watch sunrise/sunset in the desert - it can be life-changing. Everyone should experience that at least once in their lives. 🔥🙏🔥
