Imagine doing a ceremonial dose here, only a half mile from your home. You built this space by hand, carted every stone and bags of rocks via wagon, sledgehammered every stump out from trees you cut. Soooo ready for spring to do more work on it!
A patients wife decided to sit with her husband today, they are laughing, crying and hugging.
He also thinks he is a “hotdog”
A journey without someone can either break your layers and allow some crazy healing, or dive you deeper and hiding from what needs to be let loose.

But when we do face ourselves the greatest changes await.
@Hitchslap1 Tao Te Ching Chapter 81:
True words are not pleasing.
Pleasing words are not true.
Those who are right do not argue.
Those who argue are not right.
Those who know are not learned.
Those who are learned do not know.
I used to use aluminum foil any time I lined a pan in the oven. But food would stick, the foil would tear, and half the time it leaked. In the past 6-12 months I've become a parchment supremacist.
Bacon? Parchment paper
French fries? Parchment
Chicken tenders? Parchment
Shrimp? You guessed it, parchment
Literally anything I'd cook in the oven where I would line the pan for easier cleanup, I'll now toss a sheet of parchment paper down. It's cheaper than aluminum foil and is heat safe to around 400-425F. The food slides right off of it, and you can toss it in the trash when you're done.
You can get a multi-pack of large boxes at your local club store for around $10-15, but I've found the stuff that Sam's club sells to be the best on price and quality.
Are you still using aluminum foil or have you converted to parchment?
Trust, an equally important concept as Love.
But why?
With it, you move mountains, float on water and fly through space, without it, you cant even jump off the ground.
Trust is like a spiders web, it’s built over time intricately and while strong, it also can be easily broken in turn.
However some webs are 5x stronger than steel, and if allowed to build like we would a rope, it would be seemingly unbreakable.
Trust and love are nearly interchangeable, while you may trust a random dog not to bite you, you think i don’t love it. Yet to open ourselves and be vulnerable shows the attempt to love, if not love itself.
Being vulnerable or also interchangeably humble, in today’s society can be viewed as weak or emotional. But to conquer and know how and when to use such deep emotion is a power unlike any other.
A web built with love, trust, humility will never break, you may cut strands, but it will build back stronger and more effective than before, you just have to be willing to keep the work needed. to build a web so beautiful, others would want to follow its design. So decide, is the person and time worth it?
If you spent 12 years together and then decide to divorce you now have 12 years of time you hopefully got to know someone, are they so bad if you made it so long? It takes an average of 8 years just to know someone deeply. Ironically the same average marriage divorce rate is under 8 years.
Now this brings to the table, forgiveness, another connective word to all mentioned. We may hold back genuine empathy and love if we hold anything against, others, or our selves even.
Like many things in life, there are ups and downs. Without the hills/mountains we have no valleys. The valleys feel so low and often painful after being up top. Sometimes they happen fast, even in the same day. It’s easy to not want to try to get back up the next hill. But life will continue with, or without you. So choose to move, or choose to grow moss in the dark.
Trust in the water, do not thrash, and you will float.

Death is a heart break, no one can heal, but love is a memory no one can steal.
Without sorrow, we cannot know true happiness.

Tao Te Ching Chapter 61:
When a country obtains great power,
it becomes like the sea:
all streams run downward into it.
The more powerful it grows,
the greater the need for humility.
Humility means trusting the Tao,
thus never needing to be defensive.
A great nation is like a great man:
When he makes a mistake, he realizes it.
Having realized it, he admits it.
Having admitted it, he corrects it.
He considers those who point out his faults
as his most benevolent teachers.
He thinks of his enemy
as the shadow that he himself casts.
If a nation is centered in the Tao,
if it nourishes its own people
and doesn’t meddle in the affairs of others,
it will be a light to all nations in the world.
This passage most certainly crushes America today. As a child thinking we are so great, and as an adult to see things differently.
This passage is saying that great things will have all flow back to it, as the sea gets more from rivers and streams, yet gives water through clouds and provides much more to the greater good.
A country should lead through example much like a honeybee hive. They work together, they take turns, they don’t fight and build something everyone/thing wants.
As a country grows and becomes strong, it must be humble, it must still know it never knows all or can control all. Much like businesses today, they need to learn to hear the smallest of them and listen. Potentially heading their advice, for if we truly want everyone’s success, then each voice would have something good to add.
Humility to admit fault and correct it and not stay in pride. To not get involved in other countries problems. No one needs to police others, for if their way is truly strong and everyone wants it, they will have to learn how to conform to it.
Learn to be as the honeybee, they fight only to know they will die to save their country, for they can only sting once.

Such a life is a lot of work, but whats interesting is back then i doubt they labeled it as such.
You just, farmed, built, raised, loved.
Now we feel such little purpose in what we do, enslaved to everyone else’s system and purpose we call what once was a free life “work” 🤔
So today, would you consider being a “modern traditionalist”, someone who blends modern living with some aspects of homesteading life and family values?
