The myth of "individualism".
I aspire to be ordinary.
It is in the ordinary, where one finds true transcendence.
Doing the dishes, weeding the garden, chopping wood.
Do not wait for the spectacular epiphany. Nor the moment of enlightenment.
It is in the so called mundane, ordinary, daily actions. That you will find the insight of interdependency. This will lead directly to transcendence.
The magic of the ordinary.
The beauty of the real.
The authenticity of the simple.

I keep telling people how great the Finch app is...it has changed things in our house! A virtual pet that you raise by taking care of yourself. Helps with my PTSD, helps with other family members' ADHD. Doesn't punish you for tasks going undone. Has anxiety breathing exercises.
If you try it, use my code for a gift for your finch. NKREFY3PH4
I don't know how this would work with other acoustic guitars. Years ago, when I was trying to learn guitar, the classical guitar was recommended to me because I prefer fingerstyle over strumming. I just can't keep the chord formations for both instruments in my head, so I now play the guitar like a ukulele.
To my darling cat...my beloved Gatsbaby,
Why did you bond with a human who does card tricks and card readings, and finds comfort in playing solitaire, if the sound of cards shuffling urges you to chase your own shadow?
I just had to remove my linktree from my IG in order to be able to post because, apparently, IG has decided linktree in a profile violates terms regarding what kind of stuff somebody might be linking to?
I just can't even. I don't even have it left in me to be actually angry at this point. I get happy when I see people I like content from moving to Substack. I can follow them there and not fight The Algorithms.
Some odd feeling led me back to playing Pokémon GO over the past few days. I played for a couple of weeks when it first came out, but getting out isn't a big option for me and that was limiting in a game like this. Things are a little different now with changes made to the game because of the pandemic.
I'm a little concerned about Team Rocket hot air balloons hovering over our house. That's...yeah, didn't expect that.
#CoSoPagans - Big changes are happening in our house, and my ritual space is growing as part of that. I'm very thankful to have a whole room and not working from "let me just unpack this box here on the table again". I've never let a lack of dedicated space stop me, but having that space changes a lot of things!
