I enjoyed reading!

I have been working for myself for many years, at one point I dropped the pressure of trying to make it...I used to say, it is my way or under a bridge I don't care. I think it is in total freedom (and decentralization) that we can truly become little universes.

Your work has fairy stardust all over it...

I am NOT going to feel guilty about Cobra Kai! You are on your own here:)

Eden, thank you for taking the time to read with me.

I agree with you about working for yourself being a big step to self-realization. When your ability to put food on your own table, and to avoid sleeping under a bridge hinges upon your own effort, you start to view yourself differently. You start to feel your power.

In my experience, there has been no better way to show myself what I put in is what I get out. And I'm glad to be aligned with you in our understanding.

Also, I have slept under the bridge before... And I will say, it's nice to be connected directly to the Earth. But especially now, during this hardcore winter, oooooh mama, I'm grateful for my blankets and a sweet doggie to cuddle with.

Wishing you a beautiful day.

You having so much fun with your own work is inspiring. It propels your words directly to my heart, Hue.

I too smoked all day and drank often. My identity was the guy who sticks his nose up at sober Sally’s. But no longer. Hiding away from my pain everyday taught me that life becomes meaningless without it.

Another “gong moment” that cued me in on the fact that we’re soul brothers.. The IP Man movies! My god, I thought I was alone with this. Those movies blew me away, so fun, so badass, so engaging to the parts of me that need a taste of martial arts and beautiful cinematography. I’m also a HUGE Jackie Chan fan.

Another YT channel I’ve been meaning to recommend to you is Sat Yoga Institute. Please watch a few of Shunyamurti’s videos. Excellent, relevant, philosophical lectures. I’m sure you’ll connect to it as I have.

Cody, I love you, brother. We always find ourselves in alignment, and though we aren't able to hang out in person right now, I know we will soon. IP Man movie marathon!! Of course, you love him too. Of course!

I think the combination of ferocity and compassion IP Man displays is who we all are on the inside. When he beats the English boxer in number two, and gives the speech about respecting one another... Oh man, that got me good, as I'm sure it did for you as well.

I also feel the disenfranchisement of humanity crumbling as we speak, and we will soon realize who we are all meant to be. Our power is rising, day by day. And we walk together.
