"A cyclist can go 3 or 4x faster than a pedestrian, but uses 5x less energy. A bicycle is a perfect transducer to match metabolic energy to impedance of locomotion. Equipped with this tool, humans outstrip the efficiency of not only all machines, but all other animals as well." —Ivan Illich

Instead, a leader with a Bodhisattva attitude moves toward suffering, listens deeply, acknowledges responsibility, participates in repair, and places the welfare of others above the preservation of self-image or the image of the institution.

The natural life span of an emotion—the average time it takes for it to move through the nervous system and body—is only minute and a half. We need thoughts to keep the emotion rolling. We lock into painful emotional states [through] our own endless stream of inner dialogue.~Tara Brach

The Great Work isn’t done in a temple or a cave. It’s done while washing dishes. Folding clothes. Living life. Presence turns the ordinary into alchemy.

Is sharing too much of a threat to the global economy, or too small to make a difference? Both critiques are trapped in the mindset of scale. As if everything has to or is going to happen all at once. It doesn’t. 📺 Watch, stream, and subscribe Team Human now: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DDGF...

The world is full of disappointment and despair. How can we possibly go on knowing that everything we love will one day disappear, perhaps sooner rather than later? What is the point of taking any action at all once we realize that life as we know it is ending? open.substack.com/pub/maiaduer...
