“If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, Infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things thro' narrow chinks of his cavern.”

🤩Yes, big boy Jupiter is currently well behaved and acting benignly - for now after going on a rampage in its youth and then helping launch the Chicxulub asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs and gave our mammalian ancestors a chance.
But, beware, it may do such pranks again.

This outrageous ecocidal and egomaniacal behavior should no longer be legal in the 21st century, but outlawed and prosecuted. If possible, these killers should be sent to jail for violating the Endangered Species Act and the African Elephant Conservation Act. If not, these acts need to be amended.

forest bathing to anything that gets you into the “flow” nstate (www.theguardian.com/wellness/202...) and to realize with every breath that you are not alone, but connected to Mother Earth, and beyond to the Great Mystery aka Tao aka Great Spirit aka Creator aka God aka Universe.

Finding the eye of the hurricane, stillness in the middle of the raging nnstorm is hard but not impossible. Many paths lead to it, from poetry (Rumi, Hafez, Oliver) to meditation to restorative yoga to music to dancing to running with the wolves (C. Pinkola-Estes) to drawing and painting to..

I am very sorry that you have been suffering so much for so long and peace is eluding you. Pain, esp chronic, from body and mind and from losing social network support are powerful, if not overwhelming “mental peace disrupters”, even more so when they affect sleep.
What may be the antidote?

Seeing the vastness of the Universe a quote from Sri Nisargadatta comes to mind:
“Love tells me I am everything.
Wisdom tells me I am nothing.
And between the two my life flows.”

TYVM for sharing! I reposted it on FB. Data centers should capture excess heat as part of a community combined heat and power (CHP) strategy so that it can be passed on to residential buildings during the winter months or to businesses that need heat for their operations.

Gloria Steinem once said, “It is never too late to have a happy childhood.” Likewise, it’s never too late to learn to cook happy tasty homemade meals, and declare independence from the food industrial complex.
All cooks use “Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat” and anyone can learn.

Enjoy!
