When I was in my early 30s I had a friend in his 80s I met during one of my enthusiasms. He gave me sage advice I always remember. He said the secret to his marital success was that he began and ended the day with his wife. In the morning, they had coffee together and before bed.

You can also just plant them. My wife has about four or five growing.

With my daughters, it is important and necessary that I connect with them before I try to solve any behavioral issues. If I do not slow down and connect, we will be unable to work things out and the energy will not be right and communication difficult. I cannot just issue.

The world was more beautiful, in many ways, when it was smaller. Pockets could form.

The only natural aristocracy is comprised of those with low time preference.

When we "see" we sometimes fail to perceive. We confuse the identification or labeling or conception or abstraction of phenomena in the world with perception. "Seeing is believing", though not in the sense we usually mean that.

When become ensnared by a false conception of ourselves we abandon our own consciousness.

The Narcissus of Greek mythology falls in love with his reflection, his mirrored FALSE IMAGE. And because of his capture by his false image, he perishes, the object of his love being unattainable.

As parents you are really preparing the future adults your children will become or rather you are learning how to stay out of the way. Childhood is a brief moment in a long life. Much parenting is like teaching how to ride a bike. You hold them only as long as they need to gain.

My son (12) rode off on his bike to go get birthday presents for a friend. About a half hour later my wife who was in a different part of town called and said it was pouring where she was and wanted me to see if he needed to be picked up or to tell him to come home. I called him.

One of the many ways that I am different now than I was as a younger man is that I have a steadier hand. I have always dealt well with crisis, due to its clarifying energy which called forth my own stubbornness, but now I am more effective and, having seen much and suffered some,.

Name a cooler duo.

A boat loaded with firewood for a viking burial but instead of your corpse it's your need for things to make sense.

Give it all away, give up your name, take a vow of silence, become a monk. Or, grow old, lose it all, no one remembers your name, there is no one to talk to.

We live in a moment of abundance and yet we are all burdened with monkey brains that evolved over millions of years of scarcity and are terrified of hunger and want, obsessed that another monkey may take our morsels. Living in fear until we die toothless primate Methuselahs.

Embrace the delirium. Allow yourself to shed what you think you know. Consciousness in an age of acceleration is a hallucination. Man-made horrors beyond comprehension, etc.

There's literally nothing to acquire and you have everything you need.
