So here we are again with another question that is new, but still sort of the same as a couple of prior questions. Oh well.
What brings me peace. I don’t know of anything specific that brings me peace. Being with Jen. Being with Bellana and Harry. Being with my niece and nephews, though I am an atrociously bad uncle. I was doing a shit job being there for them prior to the pandemic. Since the pandemic? I don’t think I could suck at this more than I do. I am terrible. I am awful. I am unforgivably shitty. When I am around them though, it is pretty life affirming.
Other non-family type things? Music. Even when the music in question is aggressive and anything but peaceful, it just works for me.
What else… sleeping? Sure, that brings me peace. Am I being too literal?
Okay, here’s one that might be uncommon. When cats go out of their way to show you a little attention. The best best best example is when you are just standing there doing whatever and a cat comes over and rubs against your legs. That’s wonderful. Similar is when you’re sitting on the bed and they jump up and rub against your back. Similar again, when you’re on the couch or a chair and then just jump up and sit on your lap, or sit on the chair with you. I actually posted a picture of Lily doing that with me last night. That’s great too. Definitely a source of inner peace. How can you be a bad person when a cat gives you a little love for free?
Okay, I am sure there are 10000 other things, but these will do for now. In closing, this is where I took the post title from. Just in case you were wondering…

Hey dude, you have to hit “approve link” in your email inbox for that video to show up on your page. I’m curious what the video is.

The problem is either with youtube or it’s on your end. I can view the post in a private browser window without signing in and the embedded video plays fine.

Huh… so you can embed a youtube clip in a comment too… I thought that would just be a link. It’s just a little 1:15 King Crimson song. It’s a quiet little Robert Fripp solo guitar piece from the In the Wake of Poseidon record.

If a dog or cat or child loves you it’s the best thing for sure. Nothing more peaceful than having one fall asleep on you.
Very cool guitar solo, King Crimson was from my era back in the day, I’m 72. The soaring ethereal chords of The Court of the Crimson King I still remember. That weird flanger or phaser. I love all the junky effects on my Roland Cube bass amp, reverb, delay, T-wah, chorus, flanger, compression. Much easier than, like practice or learning new bass lines.

I notice social media does not stand out on your peace list.
