I discovered a Reddit channel, r/natureismetal, where people compile images and videos of animals and earth doing some hardcore shit. The kind of stuff that just makes you want to throw up the 🤘 and whip the hair around, ya know?

Something about your story has me feeling like I do when I see nature doing it’s thang to the nth degree—your experience was metal, man!

On par with this crazy shit: https://bit.ly/3e8VL5r

Losing 100 pounds is losing a whole person right off your body! What strikes me as most fascinating are your “click-in” moments that kept moving you back to your goals.

The universe really does give us what we want. Nothing is more validating then the fact that it set on your path a wonderfully strange man with an important (and hilarious) story.

Sometimes all it takes is a little clarity to give us a sense that doing what’s right for ourselves is the only way forward. Happy to hear you received that clarity. You’re probably a much cooler dude because of it.

Thanks for getting personal this week! Good to know a real human is here writing about all these transcendental topics. 🤘

Nature IS metal, brother. Death and life hold hands in the forest, each on prominent display.

The raptor video you shared is fascinating because it shows how death feeds life. And how life feeds death when its time has come.

I find it comforting to know that when my body expires, the Earth will consume it. And my energy will be used by the mycelium to transport nutrients between the trees to keep the forest green.

Plenty more stories to share! Thanks, as always, for reading along with me. It's a pleasure to know you, my thoughtful friend.

Keep well, and blast some old System of a Down today in my honor 🤘
