Sincerely, Happy Easter. A personal observation: I grew up attending a church where Easter included a quarterly communion ritual. It was always a lovely day, but as a child I did not particularly note it as significantly separate from any other day of religious observance.
Now, as an adult, the religious people in my life practice Catholicism primarily. This is because I live in a different place and married a woman whose family is Catholic. Easter is a different kind of day now, more emphasis, more ritual, more observance. But mostly, itās a day when the whole family on my wifeās side gets together. Itās lovely, the whole thing, I love it.
Holding two thoughts simultaneously, I am not Catholic myself, and maybe because of this, I also get this feeling sometimes in a humorously poetic way but also recognizing some serious consequences to the way people relate to one another. Being an outsider to most of the religious observances that surround me, either here where I live now, or in my hometown, for various reasons that go beyond the scope of this noteāand no disrespect intended, like, at all:
A pessimist says, āthings cannot get any worse.ā
An optimist says, āyes, they can.ā

Iām not one of those āaccountsā but I always appreciate your engagement, have a great weekend and enjoy the time off with your kid. Mine had spring break a few weeks ago. It was the best time.
after getting physically attacked by a homeless dude on mass transit last year Iāll also choose the bike in almost all weather, so often wind up showing up inappropriately dressed as well lmao

Yep, me too. If I travel much further I kind of expect to use a friendās couch/guest room.
š¤ is ā¦that why I donāt often get invited to longer distance parties?
taking care of a sick kid, no pics
enjoy yours though!
As a person with a family, with a community, with friendships, there are so many things to consider. How does one practice to maintain personal equanimity, such that one feels ready to make decisions in the face of changes out of oneās control?
I have a practice, itās different than my familiesā and ultimately I want them to thrive more than I need myself to, but wow. Ideally we can all thrive, and be a community and of service to a broader community too. I donāt know, my thoughts are rambling. Thatās where something like kirtan helps me.
And sometimes I do think of H.H. and his novelsāDemian, Journey to the East, Magister Ludi, his autobiographical writingāhow he lived through the troubles of the 20th century and thought deeply and created through it all. So too Bulgakov, Joseph Heller, Sara GĆ³mez, and so many others.
yeah, that is ominous.
Sure thing, it will take me awhile but Iāll get there.
It has been a long time since I read in this book. Iām going to pick it up again. His articulation of Design Science was inspirational to me.
He speculated so freely and his reasoning was based in his own framework, thatās for sure, and that model was ahead of its time. He wasnāt perfect by any means, but he gives a great example of thinking for oneself.
Gross. Suppose weāre on the track of two parallel internets, one here supplied by protocols that are open, another there with the āsafetyā on, and rarely will they cross-pollinate. Over here will be all sorts of applications with all sorts of threats and participants will have to think very critically, over there will be walled gardens and moderation and honey-pots.
Iām so surprised by this, but I guess I shouldnāt be. Community service seems like a forgotten value.
As a former AmeriCorps VISTA volunteer this breaks my heart. 25 years ago I worked full time for a year, living on a stipend of $11,000, recruiting volunteers for literacy tutoring in a public school system that needed them badly. I recruited 95 college student volunteers who gave their time and care freely to 2nd-4th grade students that grew to love their tutors over that year.
All the full-time AmeriCorps volunteers I met and worked with were sincerely devoted to their work, all while living at the poverty line. In my experience, the benefit of this program goes far beyond the budget. This is short-sighted, and seems to me like a selfishly-motivated decision.
