Playtime for young kea birds! There’s a benefit to this apparently carefree behavior. It helps establish long-lasting relationships between the youngsters and even diffuses tension. David Attenborough | BBC Earth

Having some of the most spiritually robust conversations of my life just posted up on the stoop. Eating cold ribs sweating buckets chugging water waiting for the rain. A lot to be said about what opens when you slow down, look around and let glory in. I’m not blind to everything crumbling, in fact, I pray no stone is left unturned… For now I’m listening and learning and gathering stories of survival and importance. I’m watching people’s eye light up again laughing. No performance.

We need our most basic ability of connection restored beyond what is bought, sold, and incentivized. To really believe in people. If there is war we must love more. It’s unpopular but I’m convicted.
