AirBNB had its place and time, but it’s over. Had a lovely stay at a Hyatt last night, left trash in the can, towels on the ground, and am confident my corporate overlord isn’t going to light me up with a guest review video. A professional exchange of goods for money. The AirBNB hosts did this to themselves and the platform lost control long ago.

Der „Naumburger Meister“ machte Uta von Naumburg (Uta von Ballenstedt) zur Legende. Die Statue (13. Jh.) gehört zu den zwölf Stifterfiguren des Naumburger Doms und gilt als eines der bedeutendsten plastischen Werke der deutschen Gotik.

Uta starb an einem 23. Oktober vor 1046.

Practical advice: Lie down. Soften the body. Stop the thinking. Bring all your attention to the in-breath and the out-breath. Feel the air entering… feel the air leaving. That is all. No need to chase sleep. Just be with the breathing

One of the hidden benefits of reading old books is that they rescue you from the arrogance of the present.

[Merriam-Webster @MerriamWebster]

We acknowledge that no one has the bandwidth for this, but if it helps:

-It’s ‘sleight of hand’
-It’s ‘bated breath’
-It’s ‘lo and behold’
-It's 'buck naked'
-It’s ‘brass tacks’
-It’s ‘free rein’
-It’s ‘toe the line'

It’s stunning. Why do films look SO TERRIBLE now

@ThereseTaylor12 Beautiful!

We have forgotten the art of true rest. Animals know: when they are tired or wounded, they lie down and simply rest. We humans keep worrying. A peaceful mind is the key to peaceful sleep. Cultivate peace during the day, and the night will, perhaps, follow more gently
