I approve of this message & image. Recall that Walt Whitman poem? Plus the core message that millennia of wisdom traditions have sought to convey? Here it is in one image.

I have chosen to live my life with animals, because they enjoy silence; don’t cherish their own opinions; live only in the present moment; don’t spend their days comparing themselves to others; and are generally grateful for the gift of life.

Delaying your writing career is common. We think we have time, 'after career and family' but the simple truth is our death is unscripted and the measure of time between today and that time is always unknown. The present of your present is ALL you have.

Oh wow. He filed that motion over a _year_ after the court's order to dismiss was filed.

The court notes several defects with Plaintiffs’ Motion for Relief. First, the1Motion is untimely under Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(c)(1), which requires all Rule 60(b)(1)motions to be brought within a reasonable time, but no more than one year after entryof the challenged order. Plaintiffs waited one year to the day before bringing thepresent motion, and make no showing that they exercised reasonable diligence inbringing the present motion. See Meadows v. Dominican Republic, 817 F,2d 517, 520-21 (9th Cir. 1987). Second, Plaintiffs have failed to comply with Civil L.R. 7 and, inparticular, L.R. 7-9, related to Motions for Reconsideration. Third, for the reasons setforth in the Order, the corporate Plaintiffs may not appear in this action without legalrepresentation.

Who You Are Now Isn’t Who You Were or Who You Will Be - The Philosophy of the Titanium Don

Who you are isn’t who you were or who you will be because you can act via mindfulness to change it. You're thus empowered.

we tend tothink of sexy as bein in thepresent , never thinking about how our ancestors had the same wants and desires as we do. plus our standards of beauty have became unrealistic and skewed with all this photoshop nonsense, but I definitely think 1944/1920 are Hot!

I watched this movie back when it came out. I would have loved to experience it in the context of mindfulness that is presented in this article! Perhaps it is due for a re-watch?

Jeremy David Engels @jeremydavidengels.bsky.social · Feb 2

Happy Groundhog Day friends! Whether or not Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow, the present is the only moment there is. The future emerges from the present, so if we want a better tomorrow, it starts right now.
Check out this essay I wrote on the classic film for @us.theconversation.com
Take care!

When each pandemic day feels the same, Phil the Weatherman in “Groundhog Day” can offer a lesson in embracing life mindfully

For many of us, the popular film, ‘Groundhog Day’ may bring up fond memories of a classic comedy. But a scholar argues there’s more to the film – it’s a lesson in mindfulness.

@pghguy.bsky.social

You know exactly the post I'm talking about and for thepresent context, I think there's a pretty good reason to run less paranoid. But there are also contexts in the last decade where it has made sense to. Of course sweeping pronouncements get the reposts and the inevitable backlash.
