What Did You Expect?

This post is about expectations, filters, quantum physics and generally creating the life you want. It is inspired by an interview I saw and then a tennis match I watched.

Everyday Sacred

A friend of mine recently was using the space downstairs. We met to set up the music situation and he said to me, I don’t want to put my computer on your altar.
