When is the last time you sat down outside and watched some bugs? They’re small and beautiful and make the world go round. Some of my favorite childhood memories include turning over rocks in the desert, looking for centipedes and scorpions with my dad. I highly recommend watching some bugs go about their day; bees and ants are especially enthralling.

Despite my past fears, I have spent the last year leaning to love bugs. Researching bugs and looking for them on my walks and noticing noticing noticing. Things are less scary when they aren’t unknown! The world is more beautiful when you appreciate the things that make it work! To be alive is to be in community with the wild world around us! Bugs are cool!

Some bugs are scary! And some bugs are fun and silly! And which bugs are which completely depends on the person. But when you see a cool fun critter, take the extra minute to look at it, maybe get a photo of it, make your friends look at it if you're with them! Sometimes you can even pick them up for a minute or two, just be careful (and gentle). Here's a caterpillar!!

When we let go of the fear we hold towards the smallest creatures of our environment, and learn how to immerse ourself in an instance of nature rather than making an instance of nature our own, we learn to truly be alive. Bugs are great because you can’t own them, but you can admire their beauty. #bugnation2024

Probably once or twice a month, maybe more in the winter months, I spiral enough to start searching for entirely new jobs that I have no experience in in new cities. These usually include farm work or something to do with being at a vineyard or anything that requires being outside. I think I find comfort in the idea that I really could always pick up and start a new life, even if I don’t want it - like the exit is always there.

NOTHING in this world has brought me more comfort than a bean and cheese burrito, and I have been making the same bean and cheese burritos since 2006. The greatest at home bean and cheese burrito is made with Tortilla Land uncooked flour tortillas, whole pinto beans, extra sharp Tillamook cheddar, and chipotle tabasco. I don’t want to hear it about the cheddar cheese, there are no acceptable substitutes.

Gardening makes life worth living! It has changed my entire outlook on life and success. I’ve felt before that if I work hard enough, I should be successful, but the reality of any creative endeavoris that it requires a significant level of luck and timing and so many factors that are out of our individual control. When planting a seed in the ground, there’s a good chance it can sprout and produce something edible, but there are also so many things along the way that can go wrong; just because you put a seed in the ground and water it, does not necessarily mean it will feed you. I like the idea of taking any entitlement out of the music making process, and instead feeling gratitude for wherever it leads me.
