"Do good, without expecting gratitude, or looking at who." 09h03 from Berlin / Germany

less metadata, more feeling I'm grateful to have fallen asleep most days of my life; I could probably count on two hands the number of times I didn't. There are phases where it happens naturally, and phases where I struggle (often when I'm more electrified through dealing with digital things). So I've tried to figure out some kind of process for when I don't fall asleep easily or automatically. Maybe it can help you? I think of it as 'layers' that can be folded into each other like dough, not…

If it was guaranteed to feel good, I wouldn't be open to whatever happens. I never expected to get hurt from a project as benign as Strolling. I had maybe a few complicated experiences with guests, but (without getting too specific) recently felt dumbfounded by an order of magnitude to be treated with such vicious contempt. As might be natural when sitting with an emotional wound, I initially coped by trying to figure out what I "could have, should have, would have" done differently, which…

tuned out of tweets birds gathering on snow Still in Berlin; great to hang out a while here. Mostly working on projects, doing capoeira. Still less social than what I'm used to and starting to consider how much longer I want to stay in that mode. Happy to introduce Abendbrot ("evening bread" with stuff on it) into my routines; greatly simplifies 'figuring out what to eat'. Taking far less photos means less photo management, and I'm enjoying that. Noticing when I'm appeasing and trying to root…
