This is the first article I've ever read that actually praises work and the way it can make you feel "alive, engaged and useful", after a decade of being out of the fold.

it was that Martin. to be useful and have to have a trade and. place to ply that trade. i make a lot more loot at the same gig eight years down the line but it doesn’t feel half as good as it did then. and i’m not as involved. it was being deep in it that felt so good

Five greenbacks for a succulent pear, I hand it over, and give thanks for every sweet ripe bite. Scarcity is happening.
Phoenix Rising and so much time left to make up. I tasted the juicy pear and more.
