You are equipped with what you need to go and start doing. Do not hesitate anymore. Do not think you have more to consume before you can begin creating. The wellspring of creation lives deep within you, and the Kingdom of God lies in wait for those who create.

The butterflies fly
Make their way through the sky
Then they melt into puddles
Dissolve like the snow
For they know, as do I
That they cannot die
They are one and the same
With all that’s around

Ask yourself always: “Am I doing what I want to do right now? Am I doing what I need to?”

Always ask yourself: “What is it I want to do least?”, and then do that.

Remember that you are defined equally by what you are not as by what you are. That all things are dual. That all is made of the ebb and flow, the black and white, the nothing and something. The waves of time flow through the ever present vibration of everything, and to understand the tide

You have no excuse not to start living now.

The only way to live fully is to throw yourself into creation, and thus create yourself.

It’s a rainy night, and you come home to see
A phone lying still on the windowsill
A dial tone still trilling while the face
Of your lover lies dappled in the beams of neon streetlights
Squeezing their ways through cracks in the blinds
To caress the lips and contours of that lovely face.

You whisper hello, and quiet, make your way across the room
Tiptoeing and undressing an inch at a time, staying slow
So you can listen to her breath and keep the one you love asleep.

And then you’re freed of all the horrors of the day —
They slip away into the night, it’s only right
This is the time you can be free.

So you caress and cuddle up against her chest
Staying warm within that nest, and sharing heat
You’re both undressed and you repeat
The deeper rhythms of her breath
So that you too can get some rest.

Dreams begin to trickle through your thoughts
And as they flood your tired mind
You realize you are intertwined
With your soulmate
And there is no better fate.

You dream a dream that’s just for you
But from the smile on your face
I’m sure you’re dreaming that the two
Of you are going on a date.

Social key recovery will be the true beginning of the blockchain revolution.

Managing keys is the biggest problem of the decentralized era. Once the key management issue is solved, blockchain tech will be far more valuable.

Also, things like sending money to the wrong address. How do we fix that? Novel consensus algorithms will be required.

Perhaps there’s a another solution similar to the Raiblocks/Nano model, where coins can be sent by mining a transaction. Upon receipt, the coins must be mined again. Users who register their keys to a wallet, who, in other words, have blockchain registered addresses, can receive the currency, but otherwise (without an interaction from the account holder) the transaction will always be reversible by the sender, up until the point when the account holder confirms the transaction.

Parentless people packaged as products for purchase, with prices set by predatory profiteers pickpocketing the poorly paid payrolls of present-day peasants. Protest is pointless, poverty persists.

Yes the millennial dream, how good does it seem?

Drowning in an electronic media determined to sell you a trip on Expedia, determined not to let you pick up an encyclopedia.

Coming from common core, you craft a chart to crawl your course through college — you’re caught. Committed to the crisis of a crippling career choice.

Now you’re a specialized slave, unengaged and paid for the long toil of foggy-brained days.

By receiving a gift, you are, in truth, giving. You are giving gratitude.

In the same way, by giving, you are, in truth, receiving. You are receiving gratitude.

Does peace truly exist? Upon examination of the world around us, we find that everything is vibration. Thus, at a basic level, everything is deeply alive.

I have commonly associated peace with death, with the absence of something, a space without noise or life. A space which seemed to have more in common with the void than with the Big Bang. But I understand now — this was only my misconception, and my search for empty peace is what has made my search unfulfilling.

Peace is a harmony. An experience of being full with vigor and life. A harmony which allows for true, complete integration with the melody of reality. Peace is not the absence of anything, it is the acceptance of things as they are.
