Thank you! And thanks for stopping by!

The one thing about this philosophy is it gets to be a habit, and you start to believe you are not…

Silence is always the worst.

I’ll give you one more hint - it’s a mathematical sequence that is expressed throughout nature.

Same. I subscribed religiously to the magazine Odyssey, which was focused on astronomy and space…

I had to delete every game off my phone. They are such an insidious diversion.

Lovely words ❤️

In 10000 years, every trace of our society will be gone.

Absolutely true. We delude ourselves constantly in this.
