I'm enjoying a long distance train ride with a rare display of humanity among strangers. Fellow passengers are having a thoughtful philosophical debate about cultural assimilation. A group of girls approached a stranger for pens and now they are playing "Stadt-Land-Fluss" together. It's beautiful to witness.

"I have learned silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers." (Kahlil Gibran)

There's a reason we are drawn to gazing at the ocean. It is said the ocean provides a closer reflection of who we are than any mirror. (from "The Creative Act" by Rick Rubin)

Everything flows. Every moment passes, even the shitty ones. Just be patient and let them pass. And don't try to damage too much in the process.

Today, I was pleasantly surprised when my husband's hairdresser revealed that she has been a big fan of nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a for some time, and that she's already read "Broken Money", which we gifted her for Christmas. We've just moved to the town and he's been at the hairdresser only twice before. I love such encounters.
Managing expectations is important for a peaceful, happy life. I try to err on lower expectations when dealing with other people. Just to be safe.

There's nothing a brisk walk can't cure: sleep deprivation, a sour mood, a bleak outlook on life—all can be whisked away by nature and fresh air.

We are not fixed beings with pre-determined, hard-coded fates. We are energetic fluctuating forms, changing in relation to our environment and behavior. (Jeff Krasno)

A perfect, sunny Sunday. What more could one wish from life?
Beauty is all around us. We just have to open our eyes, notice it and appreciate it.

Sometimes it's hard to be grateful even though everything is objectively perfect. Today is such a day for me. Notice it, accept it, don't be too hard on yourself.

Good morning! What better way to start my Nostr experience than by reminding myself and everyone that I will encounter interference, ingratitude, ill-will, and selfishness (courtesy of Marcus Aurelius). Let's deal with it with grace.

I really enjoyed this conversation with nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z.
Given Preston’s audience, my goal was to talk about the virtues of Nostr, instead of simply shilling Primal. I hope we’ll see some new faces around here as a result of this pod.
This episode with nostr:npub1s5yq6wadwrxde4lhfs56gn64hwzuhnfa6r9mj476r5s4hkunzgzqrs6q7z and nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr led me to end my more than 10-year vacation from social media. I'm excited to be back with Primal on Nostr. Thank you!
