“The capital-T Truth is about life BEFORE death.
It is about the real value of a real education, which has almost nothing to do with knowledge, and everything to do with simple awareness; awareness of what is so real and essential, so hidden in plain sight all around us, all the time, that we have to keep reminding ourselves over and over:
"This is water."
"This is water."
It is unimaginably hard to do this, to stay conscious and alive in the adult world day in and day out.”
― David Foster Wallace
One thing about being a woman and losing more and more weight is that people think you look more beautiful and they tell you that again and again. Less is more, it seems in our culture. To be a size 0, what does that even mean? It's actually a really sick aspect of our society. It was the opposite in Nepal. You were praised for being more full figured because to be this meant to be hungry. I miss being hungry.
I was in a restaurant out of town a few weekends ago and I sat in there for over an hour before I noticed that there was a robin's nest tucked in a hole in a brick pillar with eggs in it. It was directly in front of me the whole time but I didn't see it. It was a sweet detail.
