I was not familiar with this philosopher but this quote caught my attention

It is misguided to believe that pure arguments and calculated sacrifices alone will help us face our planetary challenges. In Weil’s view, we need transformative experiences that arise when we become attentive to the natural beauty and interconnection that lies outside of ourselves. Weil calls such revelatory forms of attention “praying”:

“At its highest stage attention is the same as prayer. It assumes faith and love. It is associated with a freedom other than that of choice, which occurs at the level of the will – grace. Being so attentive that one no longer has a choice.”

What resources and links should I consider adding in the sidebar about utility cycling? I am thinking advocacy organizations, gear recommendation guides, youtube channels, etc.

I started recording my bike commutes on my Tern GSD to give folks a sense of the bike infrastructure in the suburbs of Portland Oregon.
