I was absent from here for a good long while. Semester got to me. However, I have been experiencing moments of love from my friends and close ones, illuminating, like flashes, the things I miss when I do not make time for love and whimsy in my life. This video comes courtesy of The Venus Project, of which I know preciously little at this point, but of which I am learning more every day, because the way we are now, is clearly unsustainable. And such is that case even if I bust my butt doing the best darn job I can.
For now, especially, as I move to temporarily-unfunded realm of existence, I am re-evaluating the way I allocate my resources. As Zimbardo once said (paraphrasing, because my quotation memory is out of order):
Most people in the U.S. complain that they spend too much time working and lack enough time for their families, and friends. But when asked to imagine how they would spend an eighth day in the week, they say, they would spend it .working. .more.
I want to work efficiently to bring structural change. Maybe that entails throwing out the the rule book, and writing a new one.
I will leave you with a short one from Woody Harrelson, but I could put George Carlin or many others up here just as well (and likely will, later).
Remember Whimsy. I
