We’re expanding so quickly that we’re installing #VPN servers in two countries at once! We just installed 8 servers in Latvia and 8 in Slovakia. Read more here: https://protonvpn.com/blog/latvia-slovakia-new-servers/

"Do not think that enlightenment is going to make you special, it’s not. If you feel special in any way, then enlightenment has not occurred. I meet a lot of people who think they are enlightened and awake simply because they have had a very moving spiritual experience. They wear their enlightenment on their sleeve like a badge of honor. They sit among friends and talk about how awake they are while sipping coffee at a cafe. The funny thing about enlightenment is that when it is authentic, there is no one to claim it. Enlightenment is very ordinary; it is nothing special. Rather than making you more special, it is going to make you less special. It plants you right in the center of a wonderful humility and innocence. Everyone else may or may not call you enlightened, but when you are enlightened the whole notion of enlightenment and someone who is enlightened is a big joke. I use the word enlightenment all the time; not to point you toward it but to point you beyond it. Do not get stuck in enlightenment."

Stay safe, don't re-use passwords!

My 2.5yo daughter wanted to play a game of "does this belong in nature?".

The trails near our home are disgusting this spring. We barely made a dent, but filled the bags we brought! And had a fun afternoon outside :)
