“Part of what I was thinking in this meditation, was about the wonder of love. And of being in love. And to know it’s on those two spacecraft. Even now, whenever I’m down, I’m thinking, and still they move, 35,000 miles an hour, leaving our solar system for the great wide open sea of interstellar space.”

Developing thoughts on "$"
Almost a week since I started “$” (doc here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Akeyy_lToF2BdHk5Yk9ITjVJOVkwdTRwZnVUUElOY1E&hl=en_US#gid=0 )
Here’s what I’m thinking:
• I’m way more conscious of the less cool things I purchase (hello S’bux/McDonalds)
• And just way more conscious of all transactions
• I need to donate more to charities
• I want to start some sort of money sharing system with other people who are willing to put their finances online in public Google Doc form
• Add a column for needs and amount (e.g. a necessary bike repair is about to cost me $100, etc). Use this column as potential to barter art in exchange.
