Almost like a glove

I rather like this feeling
Of my weight gently stacked
Over my feet, spread from
The heels to the balls, and to
The toes; I can feel
Every inch of ground
Touching the skin of my feet
Pushing back at me, in a conversation
Between my being and the ground for now I occupy.

My head balanced on my neck,
Over my shoulders sitting
On my chest like a bird perched on a branch, my arms swaying like aerial roots
Effortlessly hanging from a tree;
I rather like this feeling of ease
When I gently rock myself
Between my toes and my heels;
I like the way the knees and the ankles so slightly bend and straighten
While the upper and lower body muscles tighten and relax in continuous dialog; I like the feeling
Breathing into a body
In touch with itself,
Wearing a skin that fits
Almost like a glove.

In one moment, there is no place I'd rather more be
Than inside the reality of my physical being, my most intimate companion till death,
Now embracing me
Painless, and breathing free.

In programming, colons are used like commas, semi-colons are used like periods, periods are used like hyphens, and parenthesis do not contain comments. But the great thing is that there is no such thing as an Oxford comma - it's rather the "and" that is redundant!

Trust is taking a calculated risk, faith is taking an unquantifiable risk, danger is deciding to ignore known risks. 

What if consumer tax for luxury goods were income-adjusted?

What if Uber were a legal requirement - that all car owners must offer at least one ride a month?

パルクールってストリートアートみたいなもんだ。その街のそこらへんでできたものは、そこにあるから素敵。値段をつけた売れるバスキアもあるけど、街をもっと豊かにしてくれるカルチャーは、それ以上の財産だ。

Religious people are living crap. Non religious people are living crap. Everybody is a precious piece of living crap, a bag of potential awesome until we become dead crap.

Every time you walk into a world you've never experienced, struggle with difficulties you've never imagined, and get excited over something that used to seem ordinary, you become young again.

Maybe if we stop treating AI as a slave but rather as a mirror, there is an end game where we become more relevant than ever. 

The truth behind the lies is never a simple negation of falsehoods.

Happiness happens in that space between knowledge and ignorance, when you stand in a world you have mastered and chose to be overwhelmed by that which you haven't. You can't have "a little" happiness - you need to scale yourself to the wonder in front of you and be blown away by it.

Life is more exciting when you stop taking life for granted and take death for granted instead.

if AI were a cliff, we are possible two meters away from peering off the edge.

今年同時にいくつかのテーマで生活しているけど、その中の一つのは、無理をしないことです。特に体の調子をもっと把握して、もっと自然体をつかめたい。んなことで今日体調またおかしくなり、待ちに待った金曜のトレーニングもお休み(T . T)

今日は大人しく早く寝ることにする。早く治してプレシをたくさん練習したい！

IMAGINE: what if life came from outer space

IMAGINE: what if life came from outer space, and it did so because a super advanced species reverse engineered themselves down to the bare minimum needed for evolution to kick start, planted it on asteroids and set it hurling in a precisely calculated trajectory though space until the conditions suitable for life were met?

Then we would have been created by them in their own image, and our departure from innocence would mark the moment everything was falling - not from grace, but - in place for us to run the long course of evolution to be a different version of us, again.

I mean, if there's anything with betting on, wouldn't the most advanced species out there bet on the resilience of life itself, rather than the current version of themselves, or their histories, cultures, and knowledge?

And here we are, broadcasting our version of intelligence into space. Is someone out there reading us and smiling quietly like a zen master? Would we rise up to become gods and do the same in the face of cosmic events greater than the inevitable destruction of our own solar system?

備考 パルクールの競技化について

だって、競技化されたことでパルクールをやってる時間の楽しさに変わりがないし、ルールのないパルクールがパルクールの原点だと思うし、競技化されなくても世間のパルクールじゃなくて自分のパルクールを目指したい。

隣の人間が生で見せてくれることで、自分の可能性を示唆するような何かが伝わってくる。

やりたいことを全部計画すれば、人生の日数が足りない気がする。

Survival drives domination. Domination drives power structures. Power structures drive competition. Competition drives cooperation. Cooperation drives specialization. Specialization drives diversification. Diversification drive change. Change drives conflict. Conflict drives structural change. Structural changes drive resolution.

Why is politics bipolar?
