i think the trick is to relax as much as humanly possible given the circumstances which are as far from relaxed as capitalism and war can get, ok see now i'm getting agitated, well it's bound to happen, you have to process this shit- don't push it down!
to be relaxed is not to be passive, i fact it's resistance- the culture of hate and war wants us to be constantly overwhelmed and agitated, and it works! like hell! i'm no expert by any means but i've learned some by being with dogs, how they navigate this human chaos by their own lights, and i want to be a sage of relaxation by the time i die. we have to be calm and aware in the face of destruction. we have to cultivate peace and tranquility in a world of prison camps and war. it's an individual thing that we can join with another, and others- imagine if everybody did it! if people knew how much more the satisfying than hate love is. it's the difference between gun and dog, between machine and body, between drone and bird.
