Received an email today from my local city government. Something about a new “service” for landlords, to keep track of fees and inspections. In other words, supposedly a more streamlined way to figure out who owes what to whom and when.
Oh? And just how many new employees were hired to figure this out? How far did one department expand with this one new service? How much did it increase local taxes?
How big will even “local” govern-ment (govern the mind) get?
I’d like to say, in response to today’s email, following Elon’s lead, FUCK OFF!

I’ve long lived by the motto: “Live below money, as far as possible.” Below money; in the nitty-gritty land of human-to-human exchanges, mutual generosity, cooperation, in concert with mother nature, our teacher.
Yes! Let us learn from her trees!


Early December. Grey, humid, cold; bare ruined choirs . . . yuk! As is my wont, I always seek to balance the opposites. So too here.
Two little findings from this morning on Telegram perk me up. (Unfortunately, can’t embed them here. You’ll have to join Telegram, if you haven’t already.)
Reflecting on them, I ponder the intense, indomitable creativity of the human spirit. Putting a bird’s dance to music . . .

And then there’s this one. So complicated, and so obvious, that I have trouble describing it. And how in hell did it get composed? I have absolutely no idea.

Please remember, as we exit 2023 and head into 2024 and the remainder of this turning point decade: We are in a fight for the human spirit. The evil ones are determined to win, to crush our spirit.
But, as Elon said about former advertisers on X determined to blackmail him. “FUCK YOURSELF. JUST. GO. FUCK. YOURSELF! Am I clear? I hope so.”
Let us cultivate that same spirit which simmers, down deep, inside every single one of us.
Let us pour ourselves, our immense creativity, choosing, moment by moment, infinitely expressive, exuberant LOVE over cowardly, cowering F.E.A.R. (False Evidence Appearing Real).
Our goal? Full-on aliveness.
Time to get off the couch.

”And you? My teacher looked up, his left eyebrow arched, pencil poised. 'I want to do a paper on the concept of time.’” I mumbled, timidly. 'Time?' He sniffed. “I wouldn’t touch the subject. Too difficult.” — AK, 1967
