Y'ALL! Okay...I know we're late on this, but my husband and I recently started watching season 1 of "Picard". This has been very emotional for me so far. Not just visiting those characters again, but also the stories being told about family and trauma.
He bought me the necklace! The one Soji and Dahj wear!
Were you ever spanked, yanked, cranked but finally thanked?
Manipulated by the nips, tucks & WTF’s?
Laugh tracked & gaff wracked until totally whacked?
Beat down, beat off, back beat unto retreat?
Face boxed, Twatter rocked half tracked on the Substack?
If so, welcome to CoSo
Ain’t none of that here
Breathe in, breathe out, relax
Have a soda or a beer
Swing on the porch
Swim in the pool
Go exploring with a torch
Or learn like it’s school
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?
