GM. It's 6:05 AM. Fire burns hot in front of me. It's back to the mail trail today and tomorrow. Then Sunday and Monday off. It's -1 out there. Next week they are talking 30's. Some warmth this time of year amidst single digits and snow is welcome. Atleast in my eyes. The roads melt off. The snow banks in front of mail boxes soften and retreat. And it helps me remember there is warmth, green, and lighter days in the future. That's all for now. I hope you have a great day! Morning Fire 83🔥 1.2.26

One thing that draws me to Bitcoin is the longing for meaningful time. In other words, I want to live a meaningful life. And I hear this expressed again and again by other Bitcoiners. It's been that way since I started trading dollars for it. That was close to 4 years ago. All we got is our time. It's precious. At 51 I feel the weight of it more and more. Lately, again, I find myself reading random passages out of "Time and The Soul," by Jacob Needleman. This morning I ran across this passage. I offer it to Bitcoiners and beyond. Hopefully it will help us get one step closer to getting our time and meaning back. "We have cut off the time of the heart from the time of the physical world. It is an artificial separation. When ancient peoples--cultures still informed by the old wisdom--spoke of time as a cycle, it was because the drama of the heart and the life of nature and matter we're not isolated from each other. Science gave us our mastery over nature by cutting away the time of the heart. We live in inorganic time. We can no more master inorganic time than we can walk through solid matter. Our flesh cannot penetrate this kind of time. Time as we know it is no more or less than solid matter extended and attenuated." (Pg.49) To learn more about "the time of the heart" I invite you to check out "Time and The Soul." #time #philosophy #books #soul #spirit #meaning #salvation #religion #writing #earth #objectivelove #bitcoin

Yesterday on the mail trail. Clouds and flurries at 11 AM. Skies clear at 4 PM to give way to an eventual cold, clear, star and moon lit sky. Didn't need the headlamp to see where I was running last night. 🌙 1.1.26 #winter #northwestwisconsin #countryliving #mailtrail #plebchain #gm

GM from the front of fire 82. Happy New Year! A day off from the mail trail. Back at it tomorrow. It's 5 degrees out there. The sun is just starting to rise. I looked out just before 7 thinking I would see a star filled sky like I did last night. Instead it was cloudy. Everyone is still asleep. I am going to take advantage of this time to read from a good book. I used to do this faithfully before smartphones entered the picture. I miss it. My days were more peaceful. It was a good way to start the day, meditating with the mind of another as Kurt Vonnegut would say. I'm sure I'll be back to post a quote that moved me. Some things never change. I hope you have a great day if you don't hear from me again. :-) #coffeechain #gm #plebchain 1.1.26

Christmas Eve. Caught my oldest son on camera scraping a deer hide. The family found her in our pasture. I was delivering mail. The meat wasn't fit to eat. She looked like she was hit by a car. Whatever comes of the hide there'll be a story, a family story. For that I am grateful. #fatherhood #dad #countryliving #plebchain #primitive #tanning #homeschooling #unschooling #family
