Beauty is subversive in a culture that worships death and disorder. We can waste our breath pointing at the cesspools or turn to what’s beautiful and reflect it — articulate it — as a daily practice. This can be done quietly, too. The effect ripples outward.

When I’m scrolling on my phone (always) and my 4 y.o asks me something (constantly) and I reply vaguely she calls me out by saying “fake words!” She’s 100% correct.

In my defense she just asked me the following questions rapid fire - How do we make gummy bears? Why when you eat a lot of salt, it’s actually spicy? How many airplanes do we need to take to get to Hawaii?

I have a huge respect for people who build. The default condition of things is chaos because the world is entropic. If left alone, things deteriorate. It takes conscious effort to slow that down, let alone swim upstream and build against it.

Everyone needs a method of cultivating extreme stillness. It’s the only state of being that produces good decisions. Epiphanies and sudden moments of clarity are all born from periods of intense peace; the whispers of intuition can only be heard when your mental space is silent.

What I'll always remember is how PM Jacinda Ardern's leadership lead to New Zealand banning assault rifles and military-style semi-automatic weapons in just SIX days after the Christchurch mosque attacks. No greater example of what going beyond thoughts and prayers looks like.

Mary Oliver poems are so amazing because you’ll be like “I feel bereft and hopeless and so alone” and she’ll be like “ok, but have you ever really thought about moss?” And it turns out you haven’t.

When 2 groups of penguins meet on the road, they stop for a short exchange of information. When one of them moves in with the wrong group, a friend goes after him to bring him back🙂🐧🐧🐧
