I had a dream about hard working/celebrating you last night. Made me smile, songbird. I am looking for another job now, and have no retirement plans other than that final retirement by and by. My beloved sister gets crazy and I can hear the worry about that. With love I remain, the feral hermit.

You have such a lovely soul, Audrey! Truly, you are a beautiful and precious human. Imagine if we had a basic living income for all? Even for those who cannot find gainful employment? Why is that such a terrible thing? Eliminating the insanities of a billionaire class and military budgets would solve most of the world's problems.

Retiring early because I've learned to live with less instead of thinking that I deserve more an better than someone else. Thinking about those who live on a dollar or less. Everything is monetized instead of valuing peaceful moments an a breath of clean air. We are all organisms. Choosing not to be sociopathic. The smaller brained creatures don't get a choice.

So true. Everything including beauty, love, grace, truth have been monetized. Their true values lost in the skirmish to win them with sociopathic capitalism. :(

And that would probably be an accurate amount for people to live off of with dignity and comfort. We don't need goddamned billionaires! CEO's don't need to earn tens of millions of dollars. The insanity of our psychotic capitalist system is how badly people have been duped into buying into it. EVERYONE seems to be a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire. "
