The Art of Blessing the Day
Beautiful poem ♡
I am taking a few days off from digital technologies. I am traveling to an area where the only Internet access is via dial-up. It is not that remote, but it is probably the imperfect alignment of satellites, mountains, and other geographic features.

“I … I … I had no idea.”
“So,” said the banker, “if I don’t give them any money, why would I give any to you?”
“The meaning of life is just to be alive. It is so plain and so obvious and so simple. And yet, everybody rushes around in a great panic as if it were necessary to achieve something beyond themselves.”
