Big rock, Mad River
Dubie's Thought of the Day:
From the mountain comes

Before the next gleeful plunge

Solving problems in the moss garden.
Dubie's Thought of the Day:
If the purpose of society is to come together to solve the problems that are difficult if not impossible to solve alone, a culture that centers hyper individualism is self defeating.

We are an adaptive collaborative system that has forgotten we live as communities to solve communal challenges.

Dispelling this myth will dissipate the fear that fuels all systems of repression.

My friend Fawkes waiting to distribute happiness…
Dubie's Thought of the Day:
My friend Fawkes was telling me the other day that there is happiness hidden behind every dog's ear and that if you scratch there some will rub off.
I think he was just looking to get his ear scritched but that doesn't mean he's wrong.

Light among the trees and smoke.
Dubie's Thought of the Day:
There is no need to hoist the world onto your shoulders; believing it requires your assistance. It has been caring for you since long before you imagined your renovations. Stand open to its wisdom and let it transform you instead.

An old trunk transforming
Dubie's Thought of the Day:
Accumulation of wealth by any individual robs the community that created it of the benefits of their efforts.
The slowing effect of stored value will eventually starve all real innovation and lead to a society focused on trading tokens instead of creating a more abundant world.
