T.G.I.F.: Where’s Goldilocks?
It’s been a long day
How strong they could want something and how dissatisfied they were with having.
Why was having never enough?
And why did wanting always feel so real?

Monday Morning Meditation: Swim along…
Good news: Our friend Mr. Polar Bear is taking us on a soothing, rhythmic swim in the frosty arctic waters.
Less good news (and defeats the entire zen purpose of this post: Climate change is pulling the sea ice out from under polar bears’ feet, forcing them to swim longer distances to find food and habitat. Long-distance swimming puts polar bears at risk of drowning due to fatigue or rough seas.)
