Calling on my ancestors for guidance but the only one who answers is a weird eutherian rodent-mammal from the early cretaceous period. "EAT BERRY SLEEP UNDER ROCK" it says. Pretty good advice

“Belief needs reality as a partner, not a victim… So, can we meme things into existence? Yes – but not effortlessly, not permanently, and not always in the way intended.”

I'm also naturally skeptical or doubtful. I am drawn to models that allow for belief as a temporary, at-need state. I like the idea of "enthusiasm" in its Greek roots - being filled by god(dess) in concert with the English sense of the word. The ability to suspend skepticism comes with inspiration.

and yes, Sauron was defeated by two little guys slipping in under his nose, but those two little guys could not have succeeded without friendship and armies. Sam’s little box of salt uplifted their spirits; Aragorn’s sword defended their backs. we need salt and the sword. bring whichever you have

in times like these, it is comforting to look at the water, the rocks, and the trees, and remember that the world, alive in all of its totality, has been here long before us and will go on long after us.

the darkness when you close your eyes is the portal to the unseen, a realm more vast and varied than the world itself. unanchored by matter, it expands without limit.

fate is courted like a lover. to observe and listen more than you press. to leave gifts with some hope of reciprocation, but no expectation. to sit still and let her come to you… and then when the moment is right, to act with a steady hand and open heart.
