"Primal strike against the imposition of of a clock bound life." Nice line. I appreciate your comment.

GM🔥 It's 10 out there. The midday sun is slowly starting to melt the ice and snow on the blacktop . Banks in front of mailboxes soften. Winter, it seems, is starting to lose its grip. I've been sitting in front of the fire reading about time. I read a lot about time. I was going to share a story about me running away from the school bus the first day of first grade, but I'm out of time. LOL. Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day.

6:40 AM. Last look before heading to the mail trail. 2.11.26 #gm #photography

I asked Nostr what moves users to Zap. One person responds: " . . . .most of the time it‘s when I see proof of work in the form of a painting, a poem, an article, or some physical thing the nostrich made." I feel more at home here after reading this. I feel like our family were nostriches before the protocol presented itself. We started building our cordwood house 20 years ago. And 4 years ago we started a native plant nursery. #nativeplants #countryliving #plebchain

"We began as a mineral. We emerged into plant life and into the animal state. Then into being human, and always we have forgotten our former states, except in early spring when we almost remember being green again." ~ Rumi GM. Noticing i starting to move around in the house. South facing banks becoming snowless. Melting ice on blacktop. Water dripping in metal gutters. Owls calling off in the nightly distance. What was ice in front of culverts a few days ago now flowing water. Second week of February in Northwest Wisconsin. Anything to "almost remember being green again," I'll take.

Where are you located?

Bitcoin has entered the conversation in Michigan’s race for governor. "As governor, I will protect Michigan families, not stifle innovation. It’s time to let Bitcoin compete, grow, and give our citizens more control over their financial future.." - Tom Leonard #Bitcoin #poiitics Source in comments 👇

An eye is meant to see things. The soul is here for its own joy. A head has one use: For loving a true love. Feet: To chase after. Love is for vanishing into the sky. The mind, for learning what men have done and tried to do. Mysteries are not to be solved: The eye goes blind when it only wants to see why. A lover is always accused of something. But when he finds his love, whatever was lost in the looking comes back completely changed. ~ Rumi #poetry #soul #Rumi

LOL. Uh, yeah!

I'm interested in what moves you to Zap a post. I find myself zapping a lot of posts 10 Sats in appreciation. I really like Nostr and want it do well. There's something different about this space compared to the Big Tech platforms. It's more calming for sure. I know that Zaps keep me coming back. I will zap you atleast 21 SAT's for your feedback. What moves you to Zap? #asknostr

Green. Growth. Signs of spring!

Happy Sunday! I've been enjoying your podcasts on the mail route. Keep them coming! :-)

"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself over and over again." ~ Joseph Campbell GM. In case you're wondering what these morning fires are all about. Campbell said it better than I could. I've been lost and found countless times. :-) Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 121 2.10.26 #gm #soul #coffeechain

GM. It's -1 on our thermometer. An hour until sunrise.. Last night I worked out under stars. Layed on my back in the snow and watched my breath rise through the light of my headlamp into the cold air. Drove home after filling the wood stove at mom''s at 11 PM. A large waning moon was low in the eastern horizon. High Lights from a clear cold night in February. 🥶 Off to the mail trail. I hope you have a great day.

Any wine will get you high. Judge like a king, and choose the purest, not the ones adulterated with fear, or some urgency about "what's needed." ~®Rumi GM. It's -5 out there. I leave for the mail trail in a half hour. Feeling rested. The moon and stars were out last night. I layed in the snow and looked at them while I did stomach crunches. The lines from Rumi above remind me of the algorithms on social media and such. They serve us all kinds of wines. Some are filled with urgency to act now! I've drank them. . . and regretted it. The hard part is to judge like a king. When you fall off the horse you get back on though. There's something reassuring to know they were dealing with similar wines 800 years ago. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 109 1..28.26 #gm #coffeechain #soul

"If one steps out on a starry night and observes one's inner state, one asks if one could hate or be overwhelmed by envy or resentment. ... Is it not true that no man or woman has ever committed a crime while in a state of wonder?" ~ Jacob Needleman Sharing campfires with friends and family under stars in the sky . Remembering it brings warmth. Being on the back of our land, on the other side of The Bean Brook, still close to home but far enough away to call it camping, are fond memories. Good morning. I'm in front of morning fire 108 reading quotes and remembering. I leave for the mail trail in 20 minutes. It's - 2 out there according to Google. It warmed up to few degrees above zero yesterday and snowed a little. Enough, I imagine, to make the roads slippery on the way to work. I am going to get back to this fire, finish it off, then head out the door. I hope you have a great day! 1.27.26 #gm #coffeechain #plebclhain

How do I prevent the "strings" issue when I post a YouTube link on Nostr? #asknostr

Stay warm! 🔥

GM. 6AM. It's -22 on my thermometer. I went for a run in it last night. Noticed the waxing moon low in the southwestern sky. The wind blew strong out of the north. That was betweenr 7 and 8 AM. Afterwards I added oil to my mail jeep. In a matter of minutes the cold burned my gloveless hands. It's going to be an interesting day on the mail trail. It's supposed to stay way below zero today. Nothing I haven't been through before in my 17 years of mail delivery. But there's still the unknowns. . . . breakdowns and such. I hope you have a great day!
