This map is fun and looks great
This vintage 1938 world map is centered around Sydney, Australia. Since it was published by Qantas, it also shows travel distance to all parts of the world. Great piece. Zoomable high-res version here: buff.ly/MwTbsDf
Interesting how it’s so easy to see ourselves as part of a family or tribe and feel their success as ours, but not as easy to see ourselves as part of humanity and be happy for everyone’s success and health.
If we like playing Super Mario to relax from the day because it's much simpler than real life...
What if we're super-beings, but play "life" to relax from a higher dimension we're in?
Thank you @levarburton for the sleep story at a very difficult time for me. It’s helped keep me sane.

A lot of people have been asking if this can be done for their dogs and for people. I'm speaking with everyone involved to see what is possible here.
