This means that we can relinquish our claims only to the extent to which we overcome the whole search for glory and all that it entails.
However, unlike a tapeworm cure, in the process of coming back to ourselves every step counts.
―Neurosis and Human Growth, Karen Horney
1. See tech as a tool for work/tasks/accomodation.
2. Spend time outdoors daily, amongst green friends.
3. Move your body each day, dedication to your very own body.
4. Eat real food minimally, fruit for dessert, snackishness.
5. Choose a patron poet for daily reading.
6. Keep a notebook nearby, write stuff in it.
7. Tend to your teeth.
You do not need permission from anyone to take care of yourself.
No doom will befall you for acting on your own.
—Zorba the Greek, Nikos Kazantzakis
We’re here. Where the story of our lives takes place. Nowhere else. We have no lover but those in our sleep. We have no human desires. All we know is the faces of animals, the form and beauty of the forests. We’re afraid of ourselves. Our bodies are cold. We are made up of cold and fear and desire. They used to burn us. They kill us still in Kuwait and the wilder parts of Arabia. —Marguerite Duras
