Your aurora photo reminds me of one of my favored descriptions for why one lives in MN. There is one very BAD REASON for living here but hundreds of wonderful little ones. The aurora just happens to be one.

I am going to listen to the Planet Critical podcast as it seems to align with the program I mentioned that I'm currently taking.

Music, especially live music, remains an experience that brings people together. Can we call you a Swiftie going forward?

Man, maybe you should stop writing such fluff and try to tackle something with actual weight in your next newsletter. LOL LOL LOL.

Couple of things. Would love to see what you make of SEA and sidewalks and walking general in places like Bangkok. Because let me tell you that it can be a challenge for Westerners!

As for that moment of purity and joy and power you describe feeling with 69,000 people and wondering why it doesn't catch fire and spread out from that stadium like a wildfire, I don't know.

I think it's just hard to keep that level of feeling up for very long. I know there have been times I've gone to all sorts of events and had that pure moment where I am CERTAIN this is going to fuel me in whatever way I'm feeling inspired.

Only to pretty quickly lose it and be back to trying to do whatever I'm trying to do without that burning energy.

This probably doesn't even make that much sense. LOL. Oh, well....
