Living life on the coast and letting others do the same. More of a reader than a poster.

Still trying to find my people on Mastodon. Please boost if you:

-Like ice cream.

-Enjoy reading books.

-Have recurring dreams that you are a frog.

-Feel distraught when you wake up and realize that you are in fact not a frog.

-Spend your days studying ancient texts in search of a forbidden incantation that transforms humans into amphibians.

Here is a tiny warthog for your troubles, fellow tooters.

The next time you hear Republicans in Congress complaining about the debt ceiling, remember that approximately 25% of the total national debt was incurred during the Trump administration.

The notion that Republicans care about the debt is one of the biggest lies in politics.

Candy for your eyeballs. Stare as long as you please. #Alaska

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell #translation

Ch. 16 2/2

If you don’t realize the source,
you stumble in confusion and sorrow.

When you realize where you come from,
you naturally become tolerant,
disinterested, amused,
kindhearted as a grandmother,
dignified as a king.

Immersed in the wonder of the Tao,
you can deal with whatever life brings you,
and when death comes, you are ready.

2/2

Tao Te Ching
Stephen Mitchell translation

Ch. 9

Fill your bowl to the brim
and it will spill.

Keep sharpening your knife
and it will blunt.

Chase after money and security
and your heart will never unclench.

Care about people’s approval
and you will be their prisoner.

Do your work, then step back.

The only path to serenity.
