Remember the heavy boots and shovel?
The burning calloused palms?
The mind nagging for rest, for me to stop and to not pick up the shovel again?
Ugly was the wet and cold, every step seemed impossible especially keeping on digging.
What did you do?
You did not say keep going.
You did not say it is not that hard.
You did not argue.
In fact you did not respond at all.
You just made the next smallest step possible and t…

You can spend years studying the layout and admiring the precision of the lines, only to realize that you are still sitting on the cold concrete floor of the cell.
The map does not move your feet across the te…

"Oh it looks like you are having fun!" says the businessman passing by.
"Yeh, yeh." says the fisherman smiling gently barely noticing the businessman.
"Why dont you get yourself a couple of nets?"
"Why would i get nets?"
"So you could catch more fish!"
"What would I do with more fish?"
"You can sell them and buy a new boat!"

Starting now means that you will get cut sooner, fail sooner but also learn sooner and finish sooner.
The perfect condition to start is now.

It is more preferable to be a failure than to be a coward.
For failure is guaranteed if one lacks the courage to take action.

Some things just make sense.
Pulling through difficulty does for on the other side awaits if not joy or satisfaction atleast the evidence of perseverance.
Keep thatching especially when you do not want to anymore.

Getting closer with every step.
Forget the effort.
Think about the outcome.

Durability of the roof will probably suffer.
I am thinking about leaving it as it is since it would again cost me several hours to fix that mistake.
The good thing is when I leave it that it will always remind me and that I can actually see its effect over time.
The second hasel branch above which is st…

Making progress.
The beans, the roof and I .... we are growing.
But whatfor?
And where to?
The future will tell.
All i can say that it always made sense to grow food, build a roof, learn and contain these skills, to grow beyond who I was yesterday.
Yet growth for its own sake seems pointless.
Growth in itself has a purpose, a direction.
It can not be seperated from its destination.
Its like walking...there alwa…

9 Jul 2026, 17:49 UTC38 viewsread 11 August 2026 I haven't yet managed to get a feeling for how much thatching material is needed.
Will it be enough?
Or will I have to cut more reed?
The future will tell.
Keep thatching.

View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999.
