I loved paragraph 3 under the Substack Renaissance as I was shocked yesterday when cleaning my large bookcase at how many books I have collected for my own AI. That's why I buy so many books! What a great way to look at forever learning against the blabber we hear and see on the media. Paragraph 3 is the cue I have been looking for.
It sounds wonderful, though I confess that each time you referred to "raw" I envisioned unbaked cookie dough, which we we are cautioned by Concerned, Responsible Authorities not to consume. (If it is any consolation, I have survived my encounters with unbaked sugar, chocolate chip, oatmeal, and gingerbread cookie dough, but maybe I have just led a charmed life; so far.) And raw coffee beans? Less than optimal, I think. Raw spinach I can stomach, though I worry about oxalic acid: and swiss chard is even worse, uncooked. I have eaten a slice or two of potato raw, but sweet potato, for me, must be cooked, lengthily. So I can't be entirely Rah!Rah! about raw discourse.
what are the merits of lentils? I could be down to learn.
definitely seeking depth, not breadth this year. I'm learning to be ok with not responding to everyone who wants my attention in order to save my energy for myself. and to not feel bad about that.
Lentils have actually been a staple in my diet for a few years. They in my view are a humble yet powerful food for my body nourishment.
From my understanding they are packed with protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like folate and iron.
They can fuel your energy and support heart health. Their low glycemic index helps stabilize blood sugar, keeping my focus sharp throughout the day.
But what I like most about lentils is their versatility—simmered into soups, tossed into salads, or spiced up as curries. They’re satiating and relatively inexpensive to purchase from the grocery story
It goes without saying that they are my go-to comfort food, grounding me in wellness with every earthy, satisfying bite. They’re like little miracles.
This was very motivational—I’ll join you in this space of deep thinking, deep writing, deep discourse, and deep relationship—separated as we all our, from intimate connection, by the digital divide. Yet still, not even that need prevent us from impacting and changing each other by our discourse. Today is the start of my year in which I will probe more deeply my connection with Tao—your wisdom, here in this space, will continue to serve as a guide. Thank you Diamond Michael.

Sorry to be such a nutrition nerd but here goes:

Add a little salt and some cayenne if you like hot and spicy.

"In 2025, shallow connections will no longer suffice." I hope so. Happy New Year!
