I’m addicted to learning because the right information can change your life.

oooohhhh ok. the more you deny yourself the more you lose yourself
Joy Sullivan, from Instructions for Traveling West: Poems; “Feast”
sure, I may be little more than a dog for the military industrial complex, but every once in a while, they let me place a hand on one of their mass-produced wargrinders and feel the heat radiating off of the plate metal like a stovetop I'm not entirely sure I turned off
in the throes of this ecstatic contact, I can pretend for just a moment to be crawling along the spiritual spiderweb of something bigger, more beautiful, and one day, that beautiful thing might see it fit to sink its teeth into me, too

you are allowed to have a moment to think before you speak
terrifying sincerity will demand from you the kind of composure and character you are seeking
practice asking yourself questions and answer them without seeking references or resources or answers that others gave
the difference between ritual and routine is faith, and the kind of faith you need to give to your habits—what they each mean to you— is something to be curious, reflective, intentional about. you are afraid that habits will sap your life of meaning, so give them meaning of their own
