Looks like she was pushing herself... which seems a bit sketchy without a spotter standing by. I think the guy was purely acting on the belief that he was preventing an accident/injury.

Mine aren't necessarily profound, either. Sometimes they are; sometimes they are merely me ranting and raving to empty space because the moles were in the vegetable garden again and made a mess. But it's

Excellent! I think having a creative outlet of some kind is one of the best things we can do for our own well-being. It does clean the mind... and if we can create something useful in the process, so much

And persistence is certainly a very valuable attribute. Sometimes those who fare the best are those with merely a "solid" (as opposed to "brilliant") idea but who stick around and keep

Blockchainiacs and Decentralists have a certain arrongance in the way the assume that of course the fact that we're decentralized and on the blockchain will automatically make the world flock in, like

There are definitely cultural elements to the idea of "doing nothing." I know in some parts of the world, being industrious is highly valued, while others believe you are more productive if you

Thanks! I just know — for myself — that I need to take things slowly, or I just don't feel good. There's no real need to "accomplish" all the time.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing that. From where I am sitting, that suggests you have a healthy and balanced mind... but I'm sure not everyone would agree! I just think the fine art of doing nothing is highly

Sadly — at least here in the USA — doing nothing is more often regarded as a point for shaming someone, rather than to say "well, good for you; rest is good." This busy-ness is even reflecting

Definitely is here in the USA... other areas of the world seem to have managed to create a better balance between "nothing" and "something."

Getting younger? Why, of course! Isn't that how it's supposed to work?🤣 It's ironic that I have typically tended to work at my best when I am not under stress or facing deadlines... the exact opposite

My "version" of being alive definitely ebbs and flows... and there seems to be very little pattern, rhyme or reason to why now.

Somebody is definitely lying. I have seen various government projections about jobs and the labor force, and they seem heavily biased by the idea that under no circumstances are economists going to confess

There was a study done in Germany that followed a pilot program of people receiving a small sum of UBI for a period of three years... too long to go in detail here, but have a link: Interestingly enough,

UBI is more likely to become a reality in places other than the USA, simply because our population here has such a profound mistrust of government and "organizations." We simply don't trust anyone

We are, for sure, on a collision course with something. The infrastructure to administer a kind of UBI is already in place, via electronic food stamps. Meaning that it's easy to control what people get

We have lots of wild nature to get away to here... but it still saddens me that we have to drive 30 minutes to find it. The top photo was taken at Joshua Tree National Park in the California high desert...

Indeed! I treasure the quiet moments whenever I can find them!

Interestingly enough, the quietest we experience around here is precisely when the power lines are taken out by downed trees during stormy weather. Whenever that happens, I am remindedof just how much

I appreciate you having a look!
