I resist all of this. None of this is normal even by the most basic and humble moral standards.

Activists jailed for two years for symbolic resistance against omnicide is not normal. This is a justice system that has been capured by the Big Oil Mafia. A justice system that resembles Russia's totalitarian justice system.

Israel's war of aggression against Lebanon, its terrorist attacks, its genocide is all extremely abnormal. The extremism and imperialism in the United States are not normal. Russia's war is not normal. The far right policies by EU states are not normal. Climate breakdown is not normal.

So in sum, my life ideally will be about coping with the apocalypse, ensuring my ethical conduct is clear and bright, enjoying the poetry, and doing justice to my religion.

And finally I believe in my religion. It's a boundless source for inspiration and wisdom for me.

I also believe in poetry. I want my life to be filled with poetry, with moments of wonder and bliss. These together constitute a very real wealth for me.

I believe in simple ethics. Yesterday I made dough for 40 breads. I feel this is an objectively good thing to do. So many people will enjoy the bread I made.

We are amidst an apocalypse of epic proportions. Democracies are collapsing one after the other, we are in the prelude of the third world war, and we have utterly fucked up the natural world, with exctinction as a real risk.

There are so many things one can do, and so little time... So I got a personal trainer and started on a major strength training journey instead....

So for a clumsy, painfully inflexible person like myself, acroyoga is a perfect challenge. But then I do it for a few weeks, gain some life chaning insights (this really happened), better understood the magic of touch... and then decided to move on to other ventures.
