a thousand indeeds
Reading RSS, as one does, I came across another entry from Mike's Thoughts, a blog that has had varying domains and hosts, but the same man behind the words. The same voice, with different adventures.
He said (on walking, coffee, Cambodia):
“I don’t need complexity in a life that’s not”
...and I agree 1000%. Less bags, baggage (material and emotional), and stress is a fine way to live ones life.
For me, writing has increased since doing away with the Amazon lists. The “need these” items (which usually wasn't the case). The extras, bells, whistles, etcetera.
I figure I am more an “elements” person. Protection from the elements, first aid, medication(s), good shoes, good conversation, and good coffee. That works. Volunteer work happens in the mix. Writing, IRC, blogs and the Smol Web, all indulgent and delightful digital habits. Of which I love all of.
