From the Mail Trail: The Bean Brook 10:42 AM 1.9.26 Springbrook Township Washburn County, WI #photograghy #mailtrail #plebchain

GM from the front of fire 90. A small window of time exists before I head to the mail trail. I choose to randomly open "Time and The Soul," by Jacob Needleman. Enough time to read one page. I don't get through it. I'm moved to write down this quote: "When we love and value another human being, when we look calmly and attentively at each other, we know, we see that there is something in a man or woman that is not of time." Rarity. We value rare things. Thoughts like this are rarely expressed. I'm like a child picking up a pretty rock. LOL. At myself of course. Off to the mail trail. 1.9.26 #gm #coffeechain #daily #plebchain #soul #time #eternity

It's unsettling, I admit, to hear influencers tell me it won't be long until robots will delivering Amazon packages to your door. And I just handed an Amazon box to a gracious elderly couple. What did Fredrick Winslow Taylor say back in 1911? "In the past the man has been first; in the future the system must be first." #plebchain #daily #amazon

GM. 5:45 AM. I go through phases. One of them is I read Rumi first thing. Before I buy Bitcoin. Before I check social media or email. It sets a tone for the day. He shakes something loose in me. Reminds me who I truly am. I would like to share something from today's poem out of a "Year with Rumi." ---- "Never think that you are worthless. God has paid an enormous amount for you, and the gifts keep arriving. "There is something in us that has nothing to do with night and day, grapes that never saw a vineyard. "WE ARE ALL RETURNING" ---- Then at the end of the poem he says this, "If you cannot do that, at least consider what honest people tell you." I head to the mail trail today considering the price paid for me. I hope you have a great day. Morning Fire 89 1.8.26 #gm #coffeechain #daily #plebchain
