I Love Being Warm, I Love Being Cold

Weather is not climate. The world is not ending. But, things are changing, and not always to our species expectations. The world will continue. And humanity will adapt or die. Maybe adapt and die. I don’t think anyone will live forever, although that is just my opinion.

So, today in my town it was 100 degrees Fahrenheit, and I had to clear up a fallen limb in my backyard. I started work before high noon, and worked with my clippers and loppers for a couple of hours. It felt great to sweat, and to work slowly and methodically to clip the branches into the compost bin. I was reminded of the work my grandfather in law did when I first moved over to Boise, and I didn’t comprehend the rate that he was working. Now that I’m close to the age he was then, it makes sense to me. I am not in a hurry to get things done. I know that the job takes the amount of time the job takes. And I am on board with that.

I stumbled across this image while putting 'Sinners' leads Best Horror Movie nominees at the Critics Choice Super Awards together. I already had an image to use.

I had a spot for this video in 'Human Footprint' on PBS Terra explains 'How Supermarkets Rewired The Planet', but reached a natural conclusion before I could use it.

I have decreasing interest in milestones, now that I have completed my time in the workforce. I’m going to be 65 in twenty two days. They will then pay me to be an old person. Of course, I contributed to the fund over my working career, so it’s not like they are doing me a favor. But I’m just not going to measure time like that anymore. I’m not going to measure time at all. Seems like a young person’s game.
And I’m not young anymore. I don’t mind that. It’s good that I am not young. I’ve seen some things. My only regret is that I didn’t see more. But I still have time.

I was going to use this in 'Dune: Part Two' at the Critics Choice Super Awards, then realized I reached a natural stopping point before I would have. Later.

In less than a month I turn 65 years old. I get Social Security. I am retired. I have my days to myself. I’m thankful. I am practicing my spiritual path, trying to quiet my mind, meditate, and be grateful. Following the Essene path and leaning into secondary character energy.

Blessing walk is hard. I think I need to leave my headphones off. Spend the time in silence. I will try it next time.

We're having to rebuild the search server again (previously, previously). It will take a few days to reindex all the content.

Meanwhile search services should be running, but probably returning no results or incomplete results for most queries.

Fingers On The Keyboard

You start the day by putting your bare feet on the earth. Re plug yourself. Before you put on shoes. Get your tools together. There are promises to keep. Chores calling your name.

Yet, here you are, with your fingers on the keyboard. Not doing anything "important"per se, but looking out the window, chipping away at the chore list intermittently, wasting time. At least I'm dressed.

I'm still getting used to having time to myself. I need to get away from noise and the phone, and practice my Essene rituals. I skip around from task to task. Remembering a chore, then forgetting it when I see a hummingbird perched at the feeder in the backyard. And dreaming about building a greenhouse. And trying to listen to the plants, the essence of life.

Let's go.

Hard to spell. I went out and saw some live music tonight. Friends. Trying to get myself out in the world. Get out of my habittrail. I’m trapped by my reputation and past. Trapped in my own mind. I know, I KNOW! I know it’s bigger in my own mind than it is In reality, but I’m healing. I don’t want to lose my mind. But I can’t help but feel that my way in the world is different now. I’m trying to be honest, like it doesn’t bother me. But it is on my mind. And it will not heal overnight.
I will continue to do my best, to be thankful, and try to be a blessing rather than a curse.

I decided to write Pacific Crest's 'The Broken Column' to honor 'FRIDA' winning a News & Doc Emmy Award instead.

I’m currently in siesta mode. My wife is at work, and I’m home trying to figure out what to do.
Got up early this morning to meet a friend for coffee, then take a hike in the foothills. It was glorious weather this morning, and I truly enjoyed myself. The
Ridge To Rivers system of trails in the Boise Foothills is one of the great aspects of life here in Boise, an example of benevolent governance that makes things better for its citizens. Now that I have time, I plan on utilizing this resource as part of improving my life. Walking is important, movement is important, and being active is part of life, not just waiting around to die.
