Please arrive 5 minutes early and get settled.
Use your own method, or use the Lightness Meditation technique:
Sit comfortably, relax and close your eyes. Imagine there is peaceful lightness that is emanating from the core of your heart. It is expanding very slowly and you progressively feel lighter and lighter. Gently ignore all other thoughts that enter your mind; they do not affect the expanding peaceful lightness.

Some of my observations when driving a Tesla Model Y:
— Fastest car I've ever driven, amazing acceleration. Passing other cars at will is literally instantaneous.
— Computer interface was good.
— Phone charging by just laying it on the center console.
— Navigation brought us to charging stations along the way on our 13 hour drive.
— Wasn't the smoothest drive - we felt every tiny bump, and big bumps were jarring.
— Playing music and podcasts sounded great due to no engine noise!
— It beeps when the person in front of you jams on the brakes, AND when you swerve toward or over any lines.
— Getting in for the first time it took us a bit to figure out how to "start" it, put it into gear, etc.
— Overnight it loses about 7-10 percent charge. (in the cold, at least)
— Wipers can be set to automatic, which worked well.

Earlier today I heard an atrocious modern version of the classic hit song "Kiss on My List" originally recorded by Hall & Oates in 1980.
This boring tasteless cover had some bland woman singing with zero energy, zero character, and she was even copying Darryl Hall's ad libs verbatim. Terrible! Not only did it NOT come close to the quality of the original recording, but it was grating and annoying to hear such a BAD version of such a great hit song.
Want to know why bad cover songs are recorded and released these days? Two reasons: 1. Modern songwriters aren’t able to write songs that are as good as classic hit songs, and 2. The record companies simply want to make as much money as possible rehashing old songs that they own the rights to.
Art is ruined while huge companies make millions.
Awful.

Perhaps human beings should revere Nature and endeavor to understand Nature instead of ignorantly resisting it.

Your "elders" are your parents, extended family, and friends parents, etc. Your elders simply telling stories from their own lives can be incredibly helpful and useful to you. How much undisclosed wisdom remains unknown and then dies with older people before they convey it to another human being? Native American tribes understood the value of elders.
Challenge to you: Ask some of your elders for wisdom around a particular topic that you’re interested in. And then simply LISTEN! And consider commenting below with the wisdom you received! HA
