Had my closest friends here in NYC all over last night for a joint birthday celebration between Steph and I. Our space was buzzing with good energy. I love the community we've built here.

True goodness is like water.
- Bringing benefit and giving life to the 10,000 things.
- It doesn’t compete but like the Tao
- Immediately flows to the lowest place.
- Everyone else always wants to be first
- But the wise only want to be last,
- To live on solid ground,
- To think deeply,
- To be gentle and kind,

- To govern with peace and order,
- To work with skill,
- To act at only the best time
