Java Zen:Thinking Out Loud Wednesday, 2025.07.09 
Constant expansion is not possible. Everything reaches its limits, and the wise
always try to identify these limits. In the environment, they do not willfully
expand civilization at the expense of natural wilderness. In economics, they do
not spend beyond the market. In personal relationships, they do not demand more
than others can fairly give. In exercise, they do not strain beyond their
capacities. In health, they do not go beyond the limits of their age. With such
attitudes, the wise can even exploit what others think to be barriers.

Voice In The Sand

Michael Yon emails he is headed back to Iraq for another year. His independent reporting on the war and the American efforts in that region is truly exceptional. If you’re unfamiliar with his work, start here: Little Girl / Strength and Compassion and The Hands of God.

Mr. Yon’s work is entirely reader funded – no legacy media meddling – so if you appreciate his work, you can go here and learn how to support his effort.

I sent along another $100 this morning.
