Build Your House

It’s simple, but it isn’t necessarily easy — Isn’t it mad that we are given all the tools in life to get exactly what we want, but instead of using them, we huff and puff and say it’s too hard or unfair? Imagine you had all the tools you needed to build a house. They were laid out…

Alan Watts, Douglas Adams and the Beauty of Questions — My 13-year-old stepson has grown curious about life.
