Be like water. Surrender attachments, conclusions, so you can flow with life. Yielding in this way reveals the source of your power.

Suffering is the result of identifying with your thinking.

But if you look closely you will realize that you can't control which thoughts come to mind.

When you see this, you will stop blaming yourself for "bad" thoughts and experience great relief. Then you are left with true curiosity—a kind of wonderful, open mind that is waiting to see what thought arises next.

We held our monthly VIDA session in Lighthouse Park today.

We drank hot cacao in the Sprinter van before embarking on our forest walk. It was pouring rain at times, and I was barefoot.

Deleted YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn from my iPhone and iPad this morning.

Edit (Jan 17): re-downloaded Instragram two days later and set a short app limit (experimenting with seven minutes) using Apple's Screen Time feature. Responding to direct messages burns through my daily limit, but it keeps me hyper-focused when I am in the app. Sometimes I will draft a message outside Instagram and then copy it in when I'm ready to send. I am spending 30-45 minutes less each day on Instagram than I was just a week ago.

You don’t have to ruminate on things.

When you relax and let go, inspired ideas will come to you.

Beautiful people everywhere. Visits from two different Quebec couples today. Fingers crossed for some kiting with Rémi next weekend 🤞

Wonderful, meandering dialogue with Mark today. We circled Victoria park for a while and then settled down on this bench under the sun. 90F3049D-9291-4B63-862E-DD50B9EBFA84.jpg

Sometimes I’ll leave a simple loop link this on repeat for an hour or two while I work, read or write. I just discovered Splice.com today, and pulled a few samples together to create this relaxing beat.

I bought my Fujifilm X100T back from Marcus (met through Craigslist in Dec 2020) this Saturday. Every photo that popped up in Apple Photos taken with the Fuji made me nostalgic for it.

Took a bunch of photos that evening with Sandie in English Bay, and a few on Sunday in Squamish with Nat and Coleman. DAA37369-FCF2-41D9-9FDE-FEFF3EBDD388.jpg 8174033A-EAB1-4EDF-8E91-F94C3369CAB6.jpg E455B06F-115D-4CCE-A932-5129B62D9F7A.jpg
