Pura Vida

I had the privilege of spending the last two weeks of January in Costa Rica and Miami on a work trip.

I crossed five of the seven provinces, moving from one coast of the country to the other in 3 days.

I know that by now we do not need anything more. Nothing else from the “outside world” will improve our experience down by the river.

A return to simplicity

Choice is both a privilege and a distraction. We tend to become preoccupied with a multitude of options and fatigue ourselves in a vortex of decision making. The plight of modern privilege.
