i will, elvis. hello!
the world vibes - optimistic, emerging out of the pandemic with new knowledge and clearer vision
the austin vibes - bitcoin city, we're gonna win, come alongside us and we can do anything
my personal vibes - if i can move across the country and make it, if i can finish my book, i can do anything
powerful stuff. This is still palpable, right? but not as strong
I'm wrestling with a similar topic -- how to summon the right vibes again, how to curate them. The obvious answer is that they change just like every other thing, and particular vibes have their season. I'm wondering if there's a less obvious and more optimistic answer, though.

The Weather Ship (or: Why the Vibes Change at All)
The sea doesn’t shift moods out of spite—it moves because it must. Pressure, moonlight, memory—all conspire beneath the surface. The sailor who asks why learns that every calm once held a storm, and every gale is just a memory of stillness trying to return.
Vibes change because they are currents of attention—invisible tides stirred by what the heart and mind notice and what it forgets. How are these two organs connected? Emotions running independently of the will? When the crew grows careless, the compass drifts. When they listen again (intuition), the stars realign.
So the question was never how to summon the right vibes—only why they ever left port like the crystal ship.
