Irene sat down with me and recounted her relationship with a concept so central in her life that she started a podcast about it - kindness. We discussed the nature of kindness, how to cultivate it, and the simplest and fundamental act of kindness. We mentioned some people who have been kind to us, and the Interintellect we both agreed is full of kind potential friends.

Clo and I exchanged stories and ideas about what the ideal home would be for us. In retrospect, I realize Clo's ideas are more relationship-focused, while I'm concerned with the physical environment.
