TREE -- When I posted the first page from this book I didn't have an intention of posting anymore though lately the texts have felt especially in sync with what I've been experiencing and talking with friends about as well as writing about except articulated much more eloquently in these daily writings. The entry that's for today Augist 2, from the "365 Tao: Daily Meditations" by #dengmingdao is titled "#Tree". I don't really have anything to add except it completely resonates with me. The work, the goals, the success that our culture has evolved into valuing and celebrating and rewarding feels like achievement on the surface, but it's surface and ultimately, that collective encouragement to achieve I feel that pushes us towards something that is endless and #insatiable. Coincidentally, it overlaps in content with a post from the @davidlynchfoundation that I just listened to regarding "#success" - it doesn't last you just want more and more #ambitionmakesyouloookveryuglykickingscreamingguccilittlepiggy @thomyorke. #buddidism #thefournobletruths -- the truth of the cessation of #dukkha (#suffering). #nosmallthing #reprioritizing #selfawareness I guess I do have something to add #my2cents (at Planet Earth)
