If you stand for a bit of contemplation, on the edge of my driveway, looking into the first part of the forest, a forest that stretches for 80 acres, and at the outer edge of which my woods conjoin with the woods of neighbors, you will see what most would call “chaos.”

Turtles All The Way Down
If the people in power decide to rob you and abuse you and violate their own bogus rules, then you can petition a judge to please do something about it. But the judge is appointed by the robbers. And also paid by the robbers.
How to Let Go of Any Possession
I’m going to share how I let go of attachment to possessions (other kinds of attachment, I’m still figuring out!) in this short guide. If you follow this guide, you will become a certified minimalist!
Anonymous
The “senior official” who penned the anonymous opinion / editorial piece, published by the New York Times, is not a “coward,” but he or she is certainly a goner. The tragedy is that we should be hailing this person as a hero, not hunting this person like an escaped convict.
If You’re Only Decent When Threatened…

Bernie’s Bozo Boondoggle (or, How to Keep Low-Income Workers Unemployed)
