“I am losing precious days. I am degenerating into a machine for making money. I am learning nothing in this trivial world of men. I must break away and get out into the mountains to learn the news.”
— John Muir

Work hard in silence and bear the toils of struggle with dignity, honor, unflinching and uncomplaining.

Turn yourself into a conqueror of death by welcoming and making use of anything life throws at you as a means to strength, for all these challenges are meant to empower your soul, just as the blazing furnace shapes metal to give it purpose.

Keep at it, not wasting a day that doesn't bring you closer to your goal, the supreme ideals, yet do not forget either to pause to appreciate the blooming flowers and the valuable things in life.

March on then, resume the path of the warrior. You shall one day emerge from the shadows to greet the dawn, battle-scarred, iron-minded, in your gaze an insatiable hunger to conquer obstacles and devour new horizons. You will then know in your soul that the eternal sun shines not upon the same man.

The Earth shall rejoice and proclaim, "behold, there goes at last a Man who can bear his own weight".

And what a sight to behold such a man shall it be, indeed.

Hey folks. If you haven’t signed this petition yet please can you do so?

I know some petitions are a bit lame and we feel the government are never going to care so why bother, but there’s a very important reason for signing this one. Sam’s probation team (who are responsible for his release) have told him they’ve seen the public’s response to his sentence. If we can get a few thousand signatures on this (and we’ve already reached 1000 very quickly) it could help strengthen the case that there is public pushback to his sentence.

I know it’s a big ask, but please ask your friends and family members to sign it too, and share it on social media if you feel you can. We all miss Sam like mad and want to get him home as soon as possible.

Thank you ?

Without community, without ritual shared with the Folk, without building bonds with each other and the Gods, we have nothing. Spirituality isn't enough. Believing isn't enough. Get off the couch and start participating in the gift cycle. Find the Folk in your area and start living the ideals you espouse

Struggle makes a man.

Not growing a beard.

Not grilling rare steaks.

Not drinking hoppy IPAs while watching UFC on the weekends.

Struggle and hardship. Zero shortcuts.

Discipline is the most important trait for men.

You can be born handsome

You can be born talented

You can be born rich

And none of it will matter.

If you don't have discipline, you will burn down everything you have and leave nothing for your children.
