“So take advantage of this human boat. Free yourself from sorrow’s mighty stream! This vessel will be later hard to find. The time that you have now, you fool, is not for sleep!” ― Śāntideva

I recorded this a few weeks ago, my dog is in perfect health now, don't worry!

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/j7owDV8T37Q This was the first Q&A on the channel.

Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/b11vl5z7shY  A guided drawing exercise for experiencing flow. This is one of my favorite things I've ever done in my life. Grab a pencil, a sheet of paper, and give it a go.
