Everything’s everywhere. It’s way too much & it’s all the time. ☯️

I wouldn’t eat these if I— well, that’s silly. Of course I’d eat one – they’re just out of the oven. Waiting is. 😋 Banana Persimmon Muffins with chocolate chips. (Persimmons freshly picked)

Stories. Human beings are their stories through ages of ages, although it’s rarely spoken of in that way. I’ve always known it, but today a sudden deeper knowing has me in a lengthy and ecstatic state of awe. Doors of perception open, a universe continues its long exhale. Mercy.

“The universe began as an enormous breath being held…”
• Ted Chiang

“We tell ourselves stories in order to live...”

What if compassion was airborne?
“Compassion is that powerful an idea. It is a strong emotion, attuned to those in need. It is a progenitor of courageous acts. It is wired into our nervous systems and encoded in our genes. It is good for your children, your health, …In the words of the Dalai Lama: ‘If you want to be happy, practice compassion; if you want others to be happy, practice compassion.’” •Dacher Keltner

Where is my handbasket? I was told there’d be a handbasket.
