I fell asleep last night imagining all of humanity riding on undulating cycles of time . . . never-ending fractals of uniquely expressed lives exploding in diversity, yet all contained within familiar boundaries of rhythm and season. The rise and fall of empire (my favorite art piece, by the way) just a magnified echo of the rise and fall of a single soul. Everything we are, everything we do, never before experienced in this way by these people in human history . . . and yet a nearly carbon copy of the same story told billions of times over. Life is repetitive, friends. And yet undeniably beautiful. At this point in the cycle we think about endpoints, starting points, and doing our very best. It's all we can hope for. I'll see you at the beginning, again. (If you ever stop loving these emails, just unsubscribe here - no hard feelings!) |

I'm restless tonight. Restless and unfocused, but creative. Not a great combination. My output would be muddled. But I can put these feelings to work a different way.

If I get enough interesting...
I may regret this . . . it remains to be seen, haha 😬 But I think we can afford to give away our full $1,000/month YouBots platform to nonprofits for free, based on the money coming in from regular paying customers. For more details on where we are as a business, check out the LinkedIn post I just put up: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7322712667536642051/ If you or someone you know works for or with a nonprofit, they'll want to see this.
