Episode 8. Choosing when to choose

In this episode, I spend time listening to my feelings and the sounds of nature… I talk about the Netflix show, The Good Place, and Michael Schur’s book: How to be perfect… I tell a story of my grandmother surviving three concentrations camps and I connect these struggles to Jean Paul Sartre’s lecture, Existentialism is a Humanism, as well as a Rush song about choosing not to choose still being a choice. Choose peace and join my discussions on YouTube, Spotify, and Instagram. Peace 😌

Edit: My paternal grandmother was held in three concentrations camps. She was transferred from the Ghetto in Lodz to Auschwitz, and then to Bergen-Belsen, and finally rescued from Salzwedel.

Over this past month I struggled with a broken microphone and other issues that delayed my ability to publish new episodes. In this episode, I tell stories about my vehicle, how I moved giant logs by hand, the first time I brought my children to this land, helping and asking for help, redwood trees and their two different pine cones, living in a canvas tent, Henry David Thoreau’s cabin, PG&E, and some very special music by Tami Gosnell.

PS. Here’s a link to some wisdom from Bojack Horseman

In this episode I discuss the concept of perspective… the world, the galaxy, the universe, a simple experiment with wintergreen lifesavers, and the human eye’s ability to see a single photon of light. I put a significant value on holding multiple perspectives simultaneously. Please join my discussions on Spotify, YouTube, Instagram and Threads. May you find peace here and everywhere you listen 😌

In this episode I continue to explore what sustainability means to me and how it incorporates the concept of a sanga, as described by the dearly departed Thich Nhat Hanh. I compare the human body to an engine and briefly describe Ruben Meerman’s TED talk on How breathing and metabolism are interconnected.
