Replying to Avatar Brisket

I lent my daughter my (utility/truck) yesterday & she crashed it into a tree. She'd decided she was going to do some 4WDriving without knowing anything about it. She got cocky & now my ute is likely going to the wreckers.

She's & her girlfriend are not physically hurt.

As I reflect on the event I'm reminded that I believe there are no coincidences. As I look to find positive meaning in what looks to be a disaster, I decided to share this story with you. If for no other reason than the clarity I'll receive from the process of writing.

The ute was what I initially thought was a bargain I got at auction in December of 2023. I sold a ¼ of a bitcoin to buy it & before I could even get it on the road, bitcoin nearly doubled in purchased power.

The ute had a persistent & hard to diagnose electrical issue that made the ECU put the vehicle in a kind of light limp mode. I've driven about 40,000 frustrating kilometers since I've had it. It's served as a constant reminder for me to be patient with regards to Bitcoin. It's forced me to become patient on the road too, since I lack the acceleration to overtake slow vehicles without another empty lane.

So now as I type this I can feel the judgement that will probably flow from this note. But this is how I live now. I try not to force outcomes & rather, let them them flow to me. I think the end of my truck marks the end of a cycle, a personal turning point. It seems that we're all undergoing our own turning points in varying ways.

So what now? I don't know, but it's not a big deal. It's just a ute. If I have to sell some bitcoin to buy another, I can. I'm trying to be less attached to physical reality & perhaps that is a part of the lesson for me. I intend to be positive & present while looking for guidance & opportunities for action.

If this is too woowoo for you, then you know where the unfollow button is. I'm not going back to pretending that physical reality is everything.

As always, my unconditional love extends to you all. 💚🫂

I’m glad your daughter and her friend are unharmed and I hope her confidence is only shaken a little. Just enough to make better choices and maybe seek some guidance but not so much that she stops seeking adventure.

Loved your post, children are wonderful at helping us detach from physical shit.

I remember when my son was 2 and I’d had a hammer out fixing something. I’d asked my eldest son (14yrs) to put the hammer away. I little while later from another room I hear this weird tapping sound so my curiosity got the better of me and I followed the noise to the kitchen. There in the kitchen was my 2yr old ‘fixing’ our brand new fridge with the hammer. 😂

That pock marked fridge has been a constant reminder to not become too attached to physical stuff.
