There are many versions of the future that I can find acceptable, as long as I can remain committed to the things I make and the people I love. The years are short but the days are so long. I don’t need a grand unifying theory of anything if I just show up every morning.

I have done this many times over the course of my life. I will probably do it again? I like to fixate on whatever I don’t have – places, people, things. Ultimately, I think I use it as a slow, arduous path that leads toward noticing what I do have. Eventually, I notice that my fixation is causing me pain, and taking me out of my body, and squatting on my life. That’s when my work is to sharpen my focus on my immediate environment instead. I dial into the people around me. I deepen my appreciation of what’s here. (The more energy I funneled into the obsession, the more difficult the transition from fantasy to reality can be.)

Personally, I am on a mission to popularise three philosophical propositions: the self does not exist, so abandon your fantasies of ego; the world is in a constant flux, so abandon your axieties about permanence; and it is not possible to satisfy the soul, so abandon ideas of radically transforming the world, and focus instead on attitudes of repair and care.
