I’ve mentioned this before but I’ll say it again as it is on my mind much these days…

I believe that at the heart of human existence is a natural striving to answer these two questions:

Is this all there is?
Is this all I am?

All religion and spiritual faith, even Atheism, is created to seek and/or provide answers to these two questions. Also, to guide the essential guidance needed once the answer is found/provided.

Pondering what a community built intentionally around exploring these questions unattached from specific religion and spiritual faith but open to all ideas and answers might look like.

When you love something made by a terrible person – annie’s blog

A person is not one thing.

A person is a complex collection, light and dark, changing, exploring, experiencing, making decisions, choosing directions, adjusting, happening.

I’m reminded of the following quote…

“Everyone has three lives: a public life, a private life and a secret life.” ― Gabriel García Marquez

Never live a secret life you’d be afraid to be made public.

You don’t have to be there – The Homebound Symphony

People: you don’t have to “watch the destruction in Los Angeles through the prism of our fractured social-media ecosystem.” Nobody is making you. And it doesn’t do you any good to watch.

But when Twitter became intolerable people decamped first for Mastodon and then Threads and then Bluesky, or went all-in on Instagram. The Twitter habit, it seems, will long survive Twitter.

An important reminder (with some useful suggestions).

Took care of the other wall of tile today. Apart from a single tile I’ll need to find a ceramic hole saw for, this part of the project is complete.
