Yes to all of this. I think my specific concern came up when I realized how literal the Tao is about keeping people unconcerned. This might be ideal in a situation where society is not growth-minded, but I don't know of any such society that has ever existed, let alone exists now! But it got me through a lot of personal calm, and I need to sit with that.

We have YouTube music because my family listens to a lot of ASMR, but their algorithm does not serve me well and I'd prefer my CDs and MP3s most of the time. I'd call it refreshed rather than new for now.

I am actually in dire need of extra hands when it comes to yardwork. 95% of that is for accountability and setting intention, but 5% of the time I get scared and need someone else to intervene on my behalf. I'm trying to set Mondays as my outside day, but that may vary. You are always welcome!!!
