I'm smiling like a simpleton from thinking how much joy our proto ancestors might have experienced from relaxing in a bed with a tog-10 duvet, memory foam mattress and pillow, all with clean dry sheets. I'm grinning like a loon imagining such a thing. I'm feeling so lucky. Thank you. #gratitude #joy #wellbeing

Today's #gratitude is for my #bike allowing me to do errands in the city faster, cheaper and way more fun than errands should ever be. Easy and free parking, no traffic, enjoying the sun and wind. Zero emissions, no petrol price to worry about. In and out of every shop/office in less than half of the time it takes to find a car park. The true vehicle of the future, today! 🚲 #AKLBikeLife #paihikara #BikeTooter #NoCarNoProblem

#Gratitude for a recent conversation about this Verse. The following is a further attempt to try to further unpack the reference to 'Try." Hope it proves of interest ... "Ah, and I think the moment is less a prophetic slogan than a critique of using the word “try” as a way of excusing ourselves from actually attaining the goal. In Luke’s case, in that scene, Yoda isn’t issuing a universal condemnation of effort. He’s challenging Luke’s intention and attention. Yoda knows Luke can do it. That’s the point. What falls short isn’t ability, it’s commitment. Luke’s language, I’ll try, reveals that his engagement doesn’t yet meet his potential. That’s why I don’t read the scene as a blanket pooh‑poohing of those who genuinely try and fail. Pop culture has universalised the line into a motivational poster, flattening the teaching into something absolute. But the moment is far more particular, and therefore more uncomfortable. The teaching lands when we recognise ourselves in it (hence the Verse 😉 ): those moments when we know we can do something, but our habits, blocks, or distractions allow us to stay safely inside the narrative of “trying.” Trying becomes a place to hide, an identity that lets us avoid the risk of full commitment."

  1. Yesterday, I got to spend time with a new friend, and it really helped me feel seen and connected. Our conversation reminded me how meaningful genuine connection can be.

  2. Today, I get to see my chosen family. I’m genuinely excited about that.

  3. I’m inspired by the good actions of community members—people giving, supporting, and caring for one another. It reminds me that kindness is contagious and motivates me to do the same.
