The “Daughters” sign is a mystery to me. It’s closer than it appears, and it doesn’t “go” to anything. 🤷🏻♂️ #mysterysign #sign #neon #neonatdawn #pool #motel #soco #austin #texas #atx #shotoniphone via Instagram https://instagr.am/p/CSCK2arL4oy/
Another gem from Rumi, the 13th-century Persian fountain of wisdom. 🤯
Move, but don’t move the way fear makes you move.
Rumi
Rumi was part of the old-school philosophy (quite literally) that focused on how to live a good life rather than the big questions of the universe. Although these two questions can certainly meld together.
👉 This open and fearless attitude might be useful for those anti-vaxxers among us.
I’m adding Rumi to my list of ancient people I wish I could hang out with, along with Marcus Aurelius, the Roman philosopher king and self-awareness guru who pre-dated Rumi by over 1000 years.
I guess if you’re an island in the far reaches of the North Atlantic, then you’re pretty self-sufficient and can try stuff out on your own terms. Thank you, Iceland’s Association for Sustainability and Democracy 🇮🇸 (hey, we could use one of those! 🇺🇸), for experimenting with a 4-day workweek.
It turns out the reduced workweek is a win all around. According to Mashable, the extra day was shaved off largely by “delegating and prioritising tasks more effectively”, plus fewer and shorter meetings.

Szechenyi Baths in Budapest is now on my fantasy European pool/spa itinerary. Built in 1913, this pool is “the most visited and much praised attraction in Budapest: relaxing, fun, affordable and, at night, romantic.”
Apparently those Hungarians even like to hang out and play chess in the pool (when they’re not making out 🤷🏻♂️).
