Thanks for the mention! Great piece, too. I often think of how Alan Watts described our rushing capitalistic culture as "mistaking the menu for the food," and I can't help but feel it applies on multiple levels here! We live in the cult of money, and we have completely forgotten what money is supposed to be for.
Thank you Mike! Thank you for bringing Alan Watts into the conversation as well. I agree, the micro creates the macro but we don’t really understand until we study the zoomed out macro 😂 Catch 22. Thank you for stopping by! 💜🍑
Thank you for including me, Purple Peach. It’s greatly appreciated. The chef reminded me of how interconnected everything is and how we often forget that.
You’re so welcome! Yes totally! We can get lost in our plans and ambitions and forget to see the connections around us. That Chef was badass and that was the best dish I’ve had in years. Thank you for being here 💜🍑🙏🏽
(Also) as a Time Bender, Divine Timing is something I’m learning is on my side, that I can trust it, that there is (a) time for everything, and that rest IS included and required.
Thank you for being here Faith!! Food is an extension of ourselves from the core of the planet. I truly believe that and am here to teach anyone who will listen how to work with that power! You got this! Much love 💜🍑
Of course! Thank you Veronika for your voice and perspective with the work you do. I’m so grateful for you being here! Also, yes…it takes one to know one. 🤓💼
Such a great thing to discuss, it’s crazy because I have a very similar piece that I have pre-written haha, I just love it. Time is amazing. Thank you.
Thank you for keying me into this one. I'm honored. Time, or the clock more precisely, has been a rant for me a long time, the crooked cornerstone of civilization. I was saying recently that I notice that the cultures super focused on time, mainly the "western" societies, are the usually the most miserable. When I've experienced cultures that live more on rubber time, Indonesia, Mexico, Costa Rica, amongst others, the happiness factor rises exponentially. Time, the clock, is the original conspiracy to steal our lives! One person i read said it was the end of childhood. This could all be debated. It could be said that the sun is a clock, and so it is, it marks the progression of each day but not insidiously like the clock does. This tune I wrote, forgive me if i already shared it with you, sums up my opinions on all of this. It's called 'take a rock to the clock!' lol. it goes:
The hands have been moving since the day i was born
woke my sleepy ass up to the callous clock horn
never quite understood the need to keep track
of all the passing moments and how they all stack
up to the next and million before
yeah, i'm sure time's a god damned bore
take the fun out of me, the fun out of you
keeping all the masses feeling so damned blue
chorus
take a rock to the clock i'm sick of time
all the ticky little seconds gonna' blow my mind
my life on a leash my soul on a line
counting down the days til the end of time
in the next life i choose there'll be no clock
no ringing in my head of the tick tick tock
with no need to hurry, to keep moving on
i'll be chilling with the family from dawn til dawn
we can all breathe with ease in the natural style
hang like the animals and kick it a while
jobs will be shunned and the music will play
we'll party together all night and all day
chorus
how it came to be i'll never understand
who's the punk ass clown that came up with that plan
put our lives on a grid, our brains in a pan
how'd it all happen, what's going on, man?
it's time to reclaim humanity's soul
we've paid a heavy price, time's taken it's toll
so take the damn thing and chuck it in the creek
the clock goes first then the days of the week
chorus
I also got a song that's called 'time is on my side...' as of course time just is. stole the title from the stones but mine's better. lol.
much love to you beautiful peach! thank you for including me.
Yes!🙌🏽 I remember this song! Thank you for sharing it again. Yes, we could debate this all day long. I just want people to have power over their ‘time’. If I can write something to get the ball rolling I’m gonna do it. Everyone deserves their power 🤘🏽 Thank you for being here. Always my pleasure ✨🍑
Indeed. We have eternity! I breathe deep knowing that. And ya, everything is on us to make our relationships with things serve us and the greater good. Love it. You're good at it. Your passion for life and all of it's delicious delights is infectious. It's an important time to keep up the passion as shit is getting wild. Thanks for helping with that! Cheers!!
I did. Its a long story. I have a youtube channel from my old band I can share. It was garage rock/soul mesh of sorts. I'm working on some newness currently so stay tuned for that! Ill DM you the link!
I love the title! Have been thinking about alignment with time a lot... so much time spent living into the future... towards some potential, yet to be fulfilled... always feeling rushed to 'get there'... that's the "time taking me" experience. Now onwards into my turn to take my time!
Thank you Veronika! I’m glad it resonated. If we take control of our own time and circadian rhythm we won’t be syphoned AND we will get where we want to be when we’re meant to be there 😊 At least that’s my perspective. So glad you stopped by 🙏🏽💖🍑
I've always danced to my own tune, ignoring society's beat. It's led to some bumps, but also to unexpected paths. It's just me doing my thing. Time marches on whether we like it or not, and trying to align ourselves with it might just be our way of trying to find some semblance of control in this crazy world.
Hi Mohika. Yes absolutely. The control system reset. We can only control our inner world. Personal power, it’s a game changer. Thank you for being here. 🙏🏽💜🍑

Absolutely 💯
Wow, I’m honored to be included, thank you! ❤️
How you see things and convey them resonates so strongly with me, and the relationship you have with food is the one I dream of having.
Thank you for being here Faith!! Food is an extension of ourselves from the core of the planet. I truly believe that and am here to teach anyone who will listen how to work with that power! You got this! Much love 💜🍑
Thank you for the call out!
What a fantastic piece of writing.
In response to your questions at the end ~ I am a time traveller 🧳😎
Of course! Thank you Veronika for your voice and perspective with the work you do. I’m so grateful for you being here! Also, yes…it takes one to know one. 🤓💼
Such a great thing to discuss, it’s crazy because I have a very similar piece that I have pre-written haha, I just love it. Time is amazing. Thank you.
Haha that’s awesome Alexander! Seems to be a topic in the air current as we all get really really real. Grateful for you being here 🙏🏽💜🍑
Thank you for including me with such a a great group of writers, Peach—I feel honored!
You’re so welcome Paul! I love your work and wanted to honor it 💜🍑

Can’t stop won’t stop! Shit is definitely wild and I’m definitely wilder 🤣 Cheers!!
Hell ya. We can't, we don't and we won't stop!! ha. Me too! Good to have kindred company.
You're writing is just so beautiful and inspiring.
