@helioscomm @RizomaSchool @LMSacasas There's always a place! Or, as a folk sage, deep in the Oklahoma backwoods once put it to me, "There ain't nuthin' simple 'bout simple livin', Nick." We may not need to know much to live well, but realizing that, it seems, takes knowing lots! I do paint. Would you like a picture?

@CarlMcColman Rumi hit the mark: "Mystics are experts in laziness. They rely on it, because they continuously see God working all around them. The harvest keeps coming in, yet they never even did the plowing!" Certainly, an MO to live by. Don't play politics: let God handle strategy.
