TECH ADDICTS: “I know of a good treatment, if not a cure… it’s called nature. When we get into the great outdoors, the illusion of control that technology provides disappears and we are deflated, humbled, and awed all at once. In the vast natural cathedral, we are reminded of a world much larger than ourselves—one that predates us, will outlive us, and at whose mercy we exist.” Zoom

People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances within our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive.

“…You realize you are not special. You have struggled into existence, and are now slipping silently out of it. This is everyone’s experience. Every single one. The specifics hardly matter. Everyone is everyone…”

-Synecdoche, New York.

one farmer says to me, ‘you cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with;’ and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle.
Henry David Thoreau

Breathe, breathe in the air
Don’t be afraid to care
Leave, but don’t leave me
Look around and chose your own ground
For long you live and high you fly
And smiles you’ll give and tears you’ll cry
And all you touch and all you see
Is all your life will ever be
Pink Floyd
