Hey ciconia, I wanted to email you to tell you this, but there's no contact info in your `about`. So I'll make this public.
I rarely remember the HN articles I read, much less the comments, but today I found myself blaming myself on not doing productive things in my time. Out of memory came this manifesto and this comment of yours, especially the first paragraph. This is something I agree with very deeply, and yet forget about this all too easily: just being has value in and of itself.
I want you to know that your words have made a difference, have helped me remember something that's important to me, and I'm grateful for that.
- ciconia 7y agoI try practicing what I wrote about. Somedays it goes really well, some days not so much. Being truly aware and present requires not so much learning new habits as discarding with old ones. I'm glad to have sparked something positive in someone else :-)
