I can't even imagine what the imagination of nature would be.
The imagination of nature is far, far greater than the imagination of man.

The older I get, the more I realize that there is a cost of entry to unlock the things you want in life. Freedom is unlocked through focus. Deep bonds are unlocked through hard conversations. Health is unlocked through discipline. Embrace it. Pay the cost of entry with pride.

What if it all works out? What if all your dreams come true and you win in a big, irreversible way? Have you thought about that, smart guy? Are you prepared?

Underrated life advice: Nothing will improve your quality of life more than proximity to people you love. It’s worth more than any job will ever pay you.

Can you say YES to this? - Really? Honestly? Is this progress and evolution in your mind? If so, please give me some positive feedback on why it’s good. This cannot be the way humans move forward…..separating themselves from everything, and hiding in their boxes. We are creatures of the Earth, we are community based creatures, we need the Village…..we need connection. This photo shows quite clearly that the way we are moving forward, is literally backwards.
Suburban development in Lubbock Texas… And some people say apartment living is dystopian!

Humans could learn a lot from nature if we took the time to. 🌱
Replying to @samdknowlton
In natural forests, different species cooperate rather than compete, with "one species fostering the growth and development of another." This cooperation maintains the integrated harmony that monocultures destroy through artificial competition.

For a crop that didn’t get much attention I think this is a decent harvest. 🧄

I try to mimic this in my backyard. Unfortunately the sound of cars dampens the vibe 🌱

Stop chasing algorithms and just make cool stuff and say interesting things and talk to people and help make their lives better somehow.

🌧️ Turn every raindrop into abundance with water harvesting strategies that work in ANY climate: • Roof catchment → tanks for storage • Swales & berms → direct infiltration • Heavy mulching → moisture retention • Smart plant selection → maximum efficiency • Greywater systems → optimized recycling 💧 Design for the rain you GET, not the rain you WANT.

Remember in a world of accelerating homogeneity your quirkiness is a blessing. 🌱
Always stick to what makes you weird, odd, strange, different. That’s your source of power.
