Who Needs Money, Really?

As the banks fail, so don’t we.

Human beings are loaded with moxie.

I think I even still remember how to make corn muffins.

Since corn is eternal, I probably won’t go hungry.

This contraction, this big huge contraction, like a dying octopus caving in right through the middle of his beak, well, it’s a sea change.

Sometimes a certain era becomes just a big dead octopus. And there the suckered carcass rots on the ocean floor. People are freaked out about death. I think there are a few religions out there based on this fear. But death is pretty cool. Think what comes from death! New life. New ideas. I even got $250 this year when my Great Aunt Rose died.

Systems or portions of systems die. It’s a cleansing. People will be more cautious where they put their money after this. It is time for caution. Thought. Introspective creativity. New templates.

It is best if we are in a state of slow motion for these kinds of things to take form. How can you create new systems and implement them if everyone is going super fast? You can’t.

So, the contraction had to happen. It’s about China. It’s about the environment. It’s about war. It’s about atomized egos.

Get into the slowness. Find your groovy, relaxed, aware self. Try to keep your easy lifestyle capitalized as best you can. Understand it is better to focus on the health and happiness of living beasts than it is to focus on super successes. Invite your neighbors over for a pot roast. Invite me over for a pot roast.

OK - you're invited over for a pot roast when you're here later this month.

Thank you for putting this into words.
