Today wasn’t about planning ten moves ahead. It was about showing up where we already are. A few key things got lined up, the pace slowed just enough to breathe, and instead of pushing the roadmap forward, the focus shifted to being visible and available. We’re going live in the metaverse today for a meetup—no big production, just presence. Come say hi, feel the space, let the energy be what it is. Sometimes momentum looks like motion. Sometimes it looks like stillness with intention.
The mindful moment today is simple: stay present. Not as a command, but as relief. When attention stops racing toward what’s next, what’s happening right now becomes more than enough. Presence sharpens judgment, softens anxiety, and reminds you that you’re already in the work—not chasing it.
Right now counts more than you think.

ZM the infra is tightening. three campaigns open for submissions. one live for voting. tools are getting clearer. less noise, more signal. “live light, need less, save more” came from a friend clearing out his house. maybe that’s the ZABAL energy too. https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zabal-day-49
ZM traveling back from Boulder today and it feels like something shifted. Not because of one big moment — but because of the level of builder depth in the room. Real workflows. Real shipping. Real coordination. Still processing it. 6:30pm EST on Spaces + Songjam leaderboard we’ll start unpacking what’s next. https://paragraph.com/@thezao/year-of-the-zabal-day-46
A reflection on a trip home from Boulder, noting a quiet recalibration after witnessing top builders. Small moments—the side conversations, walks, pauses—provide texture to big ideas, while plans to unpack the experience include live streams, spaces, and posts. @zaal
A grounded day at ETH Boulder centers on calibration and presence, not haste. Conversations and ideas sharpen the vision, turning networking into deliberate growth. Mindful moments invite a single breath before the next talk, idea, or move, reinforcing steady progress. by @zaal
