Boss: You need to relax. See, I've been studying philosophy lately. Let me tell you a story. Me: 😒 B: See, there's this farmer with a horse that ran away & everyone said it was bad luck but the farmer said "We'll see" & ... Me: I've seen that episode of Bluey. Boss: ... Um... Me: Four times.

OBSESSED with this poem by @anthonyframe.bsky.social on @versedaily.bsky.social today: "...Have I done it, yet? Changed my metaphors from death to birth? From fear to future? The earth and you and I are breathing and I'm listening. I want to remember — no, I will always remember it all."
