Poverty’s Dilemma

When survival is a daily struggle, there is no calm to change behaviors.

There is no consistency to implement new patterns.

There is no funding for a selective diet – no brain capacity to keep yammering hunger quiet.

There is no access to support of a trainer.

No one will be there without a retainer.

Embarassment is high as you return products that don’t work when you still need that money.

When survival depends on readapting, it’s near impossible to improve bodily functioning.

Efficiency

Having only the critters inside (including humans) and the plants outside to care for makes daily functioning less complicated.

Having all that extra removed from caretakingg sheep, chickens, and my parents’ property cuts in half the complex pressure I was under.

Add to this that now we live where we can market our skills and interact with receptive community, and this becomes bonus levity – making the world again seem bright and approachable!

Breaking Patterns

I used to doubt myself alot.

It’s hard to unlearn old messaging when you see people marching to it, as if it’s “the way of things.”

But by now, I’ve gone through the whole try-employment-then-return-to-independent-contracting cycles – after repeatedly getting hurt.

i will just skip that first part, this time – and get to the punch line.

The way I ensure fairness for myself, and for others, is if I’m behind the wheel.

Majesty (Eagle Sighting)

On the way to the interview today, I witnessed a pair of huge eagles high above the freeway and nearby fields.

They were dark at distance, and sunlight filtering through their tails shone bright red.

I looked up the types we have here, but the closest match I could find were Golden Eagles.

Birds can often migrate through areas claiming to not contain them.

So, it’s a mystery as to the type this mated pair were.

All I know is they were strong, elegant, and composed as they navigated air currents – regal.

I took it as a good sign for my venture.
