Introducing “The Hammock”

“There is a huge amount of freedom that comes to you when you take nothing personally.”

The Dude has a hammock.

It’s not fancy. It’s just where he goes when he needs to feed his head instead of empty it. A book somebody mentioned. A film he finally got around to. A playlist that somehow knew exactly what he needed to hear.

There’s room for more.

Come on in. Hang out.

This week The Dude’s been sitting with a book called The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. More on that tomorrow.
