Truffles – 10th June 2026

Very much inspired and paraphrased from this SubStack post by Megan Falley about shifting attention

Nudge the kaleidoscope

to change the view.


Welcome a rainbow

out of the rain.


Dance through the diagnosis;

make magic of the mundane.


Amongst the mud,

hunt for truffles of joy.


Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

You Can Do It

If it can be done, it can be done by you
Don’t be jealous, take it as inspiration
Attitude will propel you forward in all that you do
Countering bitterness and desperation

We got that attitude! – 4th March 2020

I am so happy and grateful to be surrounded by all this music. It’s a wonderful collection of my life.

Remember: what gets attention is not always important. And what is important rarely gets attention.

Mark Manson

Another lazy yet satisfying day. Tomorrow I want to do some kind of exercise and meditation in the morning. Being at home, unable to go anywhere is an interesting challenge. I feel like this is a great opportunity to get some things done but also that none of it really matters if it does get done or not so there’s no real pressure. I know that if I do a little each day then tasks will get completed.
