We alone can devalue gold
by not caring
if it falls or rises
in the marketplace.
Wherever there is gold
there is a chain, you know,
and if your chain
is gold
so much the worse
for you.
Feathers, shells
and sea-shaped stones
are all as rare.
This could be our revolution:
To love what is plentiful
as much as
what's scarce.

adulthood has starved me of that consistency

the walks around the block
the long conversations when we were
too lost in the moment to care what time it was
when we won and celebrated
when we failed and celebrated harder
when we were just kids
now we have our very important jobs
that fill up our very busy schedules
we compare calendars just to plan cottee dates

Data from humans make it very clear:
wins preceded by effort result in
significant increases in testosterone.
Wins not preceded by direct effort do
not. (True for all people & across
domains: physical, cognitive, etc.

impact too of course).

& yes, the effort must be related to
the win. This all should be of
consideration when thinking about
what to spend your time on, why wins
sometimes (but not always) amplify
wins in subsequent challenges and
generally, how the mind and body
interact to yield & register "success"

Those findings are also a potent
reminder that if you are spending your

you would be wise to ensure the wins

write down their reoccurring negative

thoughts pop up during the game, rather
than try to push them away, they simply
say, "I was expecting you," followed by a

Stanley Kubrick? How did you do the
musical numbers in "Moulin Rogue!"?
Witherspoon loves movies. At age 44, she
has been working on sets for three
decades and enjoys nothing more than
digging into film lore.
Kidman, though, had more existential
musings she wanted to explore. "Do you
ever think about dying, Reese?" Kidman
would ask her costar. "Because I think
about it all the time."

necessary to change your occupation. Or you may
find that it is only necessary to change the way in
which you perform your current occupation in order
to bring it into line with your new understanding of
how it all is. The more conscious that a being
becomes, the more they can use any occupation as
a vehicle for spreading light.
The next true being of Buddha-nature that you meet
may appear as a bus driver, a doctor, a weaver, an
insurance salesperson, a musician, a chef, a teacher,
or any of the thousands of roles that are required in
a complex society-the many parts of Christ's body.
You will know him because the simple dance that
may transpire between you-such as handing him
change as you board the bus-will strengthen in you
the faith in the divinity of humans. If's as simple as
