There's a quiet peace in the presence of plants. When the weather is kind, I sit in stillness on the deck, meditating, and letting the breeze carry my thoughts away. I'm slowly filling my stand with more bonsai-each one a small universe to reflect upon. I had the idea to shape a single Monstera leaf into bonsai form. It feels like a gentle balance-its broad, breathing green beside the others in silent harmony. #bonsai #monstera #monsteradeliciosa #zen #buddhist #buddhism #buddha #goodvibes #Outdoors #japanesemaple #mentalhealth #mensmentalhealth

5 Reasons Why Even Andrew Tate Would Benefit from Feminism

Andrew Tate – a name that polarizes. To many, he symbolizes hypermasculinity, toxic gender norms, and a worldview that objectifies women and confines men to rigid roles. But what if someone like him…

Shingyō Kōsei (心行光生) 🧘🏻⛩️🪷Apr 9

The room is coming together in quiet harmony.
It’s a soft blend of a 書斎 (shosai) — a space for thought, a 瞑想室 (meisōshitsu) — a space for stillnesa and meditation, and a 神仏の間 (Shinbutsu no Ma) — a space for reverence.

A few Chinese touches rest gently alongside Japanese forms.

I simply call it my Zen Den—a place to sit, to study, to reflect, and to simply be.

Repotted my Japanese Maple into a much larger pot. The goal is to thicken the trunk and turn it into a bonsai. Traditionally this would be planted in the ground. But, I had a spare whiskey barrel so I mixed up some soil by hand and put her on the deck. Now to wait ten years and I can start the bonsai process.

See y'all in 2035 if the world hasn't ended by then!

DBT and coffee Mar 5

One of the things I'm really grappling with as I start this is the idea of acceptance.

DBT is big on accepting the now.

And I get it, but my life is not great right now, and I want to change that.

If I can change it, I won't have to accept it, so why bother?

I'm a little worried that accepting means giving up. I'm sure there's an answer to this, I just haven't grasped it yet
