Kindness is Free

Let go of your shame 
And you'll be able to love
In a way that has scared you
Yet you've always wanted

Don't fear your compassion
Your care and kindness
Scared of the scorn of those who won't 
They're not stronger because they don't

Just be, liberated
Free yourself of your perception
Don't always try to ease the anxiety
Both of yourself and others

Sit with it
Walk with it
Talk with it
Accept it

The greatest part of letting go
Of the worry and indecision
Is you never miss them
Because they never change things anyway

When you pause 
Let yourself rest
And when you can't
That's okay too

It's okay to feel
It's okay to be too much
It's okay to be exactly who
You want to be

You don't always have to share
But it's okay to share too
The ones who care for you
Will want to see the real you

Sharing isn't the same
As sharing everything
You can be understood
Even when you say less

But more is okay too
Don't censor your heart
Just because someone else
Would say it different

Love yourself
Love the ones you love
Have fun
Be present and free

An Unapologetic Paraphrasing of Bastiat's Apology for Landed Property

This is my admittedly snarky paraphrasing of Bastiat's rambling apology on Landed Property in his Economic Harmonies . I think by translating the verbiage into modern terms, which I couldn't help but do so with a pinch of sarcasm, it becomes clear he didn't prove much of anything at all. Instead, a reader feels underwhelmed by its points and overwhelmed by the verbosity of his rather banal parables. Even though he shows what actually causes land to increase in value when he describes the improvements of a city/town growing around land, he insists that all the gained value obtained by landlords by that mechanism is actually just the fruits of their past labors, ignoring his own supposition that value comes from the service provided, in the case of Land, by a better site to occupy, not labor. If it pleases you, enjoy the following: The economists of all sorts say that landlord's charge rent for value they did not create. Most say it is unjust, but some begrudgingly ad...

effortless existence excels at execution

if you allow yourself to produce without judgment of the product the product forms without strain as the production itself releases it if you allow yourself to breathe without fighting for air the breath fills you without pain as the breath itself inspires you if you allow yourself to be without chasing after desires the desires arise organically as the desires will be if you allow yourself to think simply without overcomplicating matters the simplicity will navigate all complexities as the simplicity is the solution

Yay Anxiety!

I gave you more than you asked to receive. I misinterpreted you sharing as a desire to feel care through the expression of understanding and thought of you. The distance between us is too broad of an expanse for you to expend the energy to keep in touch.  I get it. I don't agree with it, but I accept it. I don't need to convince you otherwise. Knowing you this briefly has taught me what a longer connection never could. Vision taught me that a thing isn't beautiful because it lasts. It's a simple truth, but it resonates. I wish it wasn't over, but I also see that it is better for me in ways that it ended so quick. What do we owe one another? You told me it amounts to nothing. I think you're right, but I think you missed that a good relationship is never owed. We choose it. It's a verb we do because we want it. It's not about debts to be served, but service freely given. Or maybe you already know that and just don't want to give any more. Thank you for...
