Yaayy, so grateful to hear of folks like you who “loop their scoop” (on life). Thank you for reminding me of the need to commit to the ideal of “less is more.”

If “less is more” than
NOTHING IS EVERYTHING

Thanks for the great example of simple living - for me the pie cooked in your solar oven made my heart smile - THANK YOU

I love to go slow and enjoy life.  Can we create a sense of “effiency” that includes “loopy” and run a good race? win the race?  What about excellence and motivation? 

Thanks for the thought provoking article.

Sincerely,
Jane

I love this story! I have an inordinate passion for hanging laundry on a clothesline that I equate as similar to his passion for unicycles… I think it has everything to do with childhood experience. It’s loopy, but at least it makes sense!

Hey Mark, as I read this, I felt myself relaxing, my mind growing more peaceful.  Something about the tone and effect reminded me of the great Japanese writer Kawabata.  Thanks for sharing it.

Actually, what first caught my attention was the unicycle…I have a relative who has a penchant for riding a unicyle and taught his sons this art also. As for the entire essay, very nice, it was like takiing a little break in your space, trying on your life, and agreeing with it, learning a little more from it, and feeling relaxed because of it. Thanks.
