Week 15, 2024
I think of The Great Sadness as the hole that none of us can fill. No matter how hard you try... you just can't fill it. It's something you just have to hold, awkwardly...
Week 14, 2024
Our daily lives are full of routines that provide opportunities to build community. You have to notice and then act.
Week 13, 2024
Be earnest! It's more vulnerable, but infinitely better for all of us, and one of the best ways to make the most of your 4000 weeks.
Week 12, 2024
Give something nearly all that you have this week. Somehow, in some way, ask yourself to do more than you think you can, and then just ask again for a bit more.
Week 10, 2024
None of us is perfect. The goal should be to be great in act 60 % or more of the time.

Week 36, 2023
I think I have spent the last year thinking "Don't hit the rock!" about various creative and business ventures. And I am going to try to be done with that. It's going to take some reminding, and some mental habit adjusting, but I have confidence that I am ready to move on to "find the path."
Week 35, 2023
I have been pulling the Massive Action Society together, and it is a lot of moving pieces. A lot of systems need to be "just so" so that everything happens the way it is supposed to. I am trying to channel my inner Oliver Burkeman. He mentioned this strategy on The Drive podcast last week. Instead of being focused on the outcome, anticipating and hoping and angling... try to be curious. "I wonder what will happen."
