I hate buying new things that can easily be fixed with a little epoxy. Not always pretty but functional. #spiritedman @VanNeistat
@alwaystheself I wanted to reach out and thank you for your writing and the depth of your thinking. I stumbled upon your blog today while looking online for people writing about the intersection of racism and non-duality. Your blog from May 12, 2013 was really helpful to read
And I was thrilled to hear you mention Thay and Mooji. I have been a student of Thich Nhat Hahn since I was a teen and a student of Mooji’s for the past 7 years. And as an educator I am doing a lot of anti-racism work and look forward to checking out the books you have written.
This woman has to go. She has been assigned to the committee on education and she says that school shootings are a false flag. Lets get rid of her - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/re…

My Q to President Trump just now: Overall, U.S. unemployment rate fell by 1 %. Black unemployment rate went up .1%. Asian American rate went up by .5%. How is that a victory?
His response to me: “You are something.”
Note: It’s a crucial question.
Last night, will cooling down after a run, I crossed paths with this huge earth worm as it made its way across the road. Thinking it might get hit by a car I sat with it while it slowly made its way to the curb. It was a meditative 15 minutes.
However, on my two block walk home I didn’t see any more. They were just at that one spot. Lots of questions. I want to spend time every day being open to wonder and be curious about the world. Thanks to @dhudgins for posing the question “why do we consider dandelions weeds”?
