Gathering
Live on, survive, for the earth gives forth wonders. It may swallow your heart, but the wonders keep on coming. You stand before them bareheaded, shriven. What is expected of you is attention.

Affirmation mode requires saying something positive, whereas an affirmation format produces a positive affirmation no matter what you put in the blanks.
Fill in the blanks with a negative expression:
I love everything about ______________________.
e.g., I love everything about “waiting for answers”.

Takeoff
Thousands of operations are performed before the rocket can leave the launch pad, and dozens of engineering cameras track these operations.
This is also a good preview of NASA’s super heavy-lift launch vehicle, the Space Launch System (SLS), mankind’s new vehicle for the next trip to the Moon.
The first flight of Artemis and the full Orion spacecraft is scheduled to launch on SEP 05.
Update: The launch date was actually Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at 6:47 AM (UTC).

As you eliminate your body on the web, you recuperate it in your physical location.
Sometimes you have a body, sometimes you don’t.
If you don’t have a body, you’re not there.
If you have a body, you are so there that your relationship with the world is what I call proprioceptive. It’s tactile. It’s not visual as it was during the Renaissance.
In the Renaissance, what was your identity? It was the outer limit of skin, a head that processed information, a dumb universe shown as a spectacle.
Identity became a point of view.
Today, identity is a point of being. We add the new possibilities of mixed identities, collective identities, just-in-time identities, fabricated identities.
There’s great flexibility, but the core business of self remains, just extended all over the planet by electronic extensions.

pro·pri·o·cep·tive – relating to stimuli that are produced and perceived within an organism, especially those connected with the position and movement of the body.
