Habits aren’t just something that we do, they are small bits of our identity. They are part of the framework we have built our lives on and therefore not easy to change. Life is a full body experience exploding with sensory input in every second, so much so that we need to shut off input…
DetailsI was on the phone (long ago in the landline days) with someone having an intense conversation. I don’t remember what it was about at this point just to show how amazingly relevant it was.

DetailsThere are some things about human beings that we have become amazingly distanced from due to civilization, urbanization, and mechanization.
