I hear you 👂
It’s a face-saving exercise 🤪

Or even a summer break!

Lovely piece, thank for writing it, Arosha. I now regularly recommend to others the book by Sarah Jaffe that you cite, ever since you recommended it to me 6 months ago. I really like your Buddhist perspective, using the lenses of loving kindness, sympathetic joy, compassion, and equanimity. HNY! 🙏🏽

Thank you, Shane! I’ve never had anything I’ve written being called an “exhilarating blast“, but I’ll take it (and maybe frame it!) 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Glad you liked the piece. In this age of AI mania, it seems to be aging well. 🤞🏽

isn't that what mansplaining is supposed to be? 😜

I hope my splaining was manly enough 😜

Happy new year .
