I was taking a walk in my neighbourhood, there is not much too see here. A couple of small parks, some triees, and mostly residential houses. Yesterday I was watching a live of Prod. in real time, he was just answering some questions from chat. He is such an interesting and unique person, let me elaborate. Some people know him for his philosophy videos, I belive he has a formal education in philosophy and he often records his walks where he openly shared hit thoughts. He lives a simple life in the mountain, with little to no human contact or even electricity. Some other people know him for his emacs videos: he is a maintainer of some well-known pacakges and he is surely very knowledgable about his emacs-craft. He brings this two worlds togheter, this is why I think he is so unique. I started to watch his emacs videos and became interested into the philosophy ones. What strikes me is his self aweareness. Just by talking, he uncovered some of my own inner hazards and helped me get more aware of them.

[ Here I have redacted some pages where I reflect about myself, I am still unsure on how much to share here so I will redact this for now ]

Another point of reflection of this walk was history and searching through old stuff. In the park where I usually go there is a small wooden shelf under some stone structure. It is one of those shelfes where people may take or leave any book. I always stop there to see new books and If something interests me I would take It home for some time. Some of the books are narrative, some of them are didactical books, most of them are very old. What fascinates me is how those pieces of paper can open a window into the past and look at the world from a totally different prospective. For example, there was a local newspaper from a lot of time ago, It was one of the first with colored ink. It looked like from another era, totally another style. I imagined how people reading this newspaper looked like and I find It peaceful. I am attracted to a simpler life, and I enjoy those thoughts.

[ Here I redacted some more pages, but basically I was getting inspired to start writing some stories ]

Anyway, I am heading back home right now. I updated my todo list with some stuff.
