You're a work of art. Celebrate it.
I belong to the last generation that remembers life before internet. My brother, born in 1999, already grew up with the internet in our house since his early childhood. Kids born these days will grow up fully online 24/7. A lot of things have changed since I was a kid, but one that endlessly fascinates […]
Here’s a fabulous chicken I painted for no reason at all. The fabulous chicken doesn’t need any reasons. The fabulous chicken is happy as he is.
What if all you create was 100% feedback-proof? No words of praise, no matter how many people enjoyed what you did. No criticism, no matter how many believe that you’re wrong. No likes, no comments, no pop charts, no reviews, no follows or unfollows, no performance stats. No way to find out how other people […]
I love the process of oil painting, it’s smooth, soothing and meditative. At the same time, I hate the process of cleaning up after oil painting and waiting for the finished work to dry. I don’t know how I’m doing this, sometimes I can touch a canvas after weeks and still get my hands dirty. […]
When was the last time you spoke to customer support? Bet you didn’t reach out to them to speak about how awesome they are? Most people, myself included, only contact support if there’s absolutely no other way to get something done. I’d much rather fill ten online forms than call my bank, phone carrier, or […]
what’s the meaning of
dance
only a very wise head could
give birth to such a nonsense
why don’t you put it aside for one moment
shake your limbs like a madman and
let them take you astray
who’s left to ask about meaning
when all is lost
in ecstatic motion
We do not “come into” this world; we come out of it, as leaves from a tree. As the ocean “waves,” the universe “peoples.” Every individual is an expression of the whole realm of nature, a unique action of the total universe. Alan Watts, The Book
I’m halfway through Tim Ferriss’ podcast with Gregory McKeown. I was already a big fan of Greg’s book called Essentialism, but this interview way exceeded my expectations. It doesn’t sound like an interview at all, but rather like a chat between two friends sharing their deepest secrets. It’s raw and real and… you’d be better […]
When there is no way out, there is still always a way through. So don’t turn away from the pain. Face it. Feel it fully. Feel it — don’t think about it! Express it if necessary, but don’t create a script in your mind around it. Eckhart Tolle – The Power of Now Today is […]
Nothing helps when I’m feeling stuck like shifting perspective. And nothing shifts my perspective like hanging upside down–literally. I practice this several times per week now, and it’s a blessing for my body, mind, and soul alike. I only discovered aerial yoga about 3 months ago, and it was love at first sight. It’s traditional […]
