Welcome to the Commune podcast. This is Jeff Krasno. How many of you may receive my weekly

Sunday commusing article where I address a breadth of issues from the spiritual to the sociopolitical.

And on occasion, I will also record an audio version of these articles and release

it here as a bonus episode. Well, if you've been working all your life for the eventual payout

of happiness, well, great news. Your moment has arrived because you cannot be happy in the future.

Happiness is the provenance of the everlasting now.

manifest who we already are in this moment. And again, in this one. If you're interested in receiving

my weekly screed, sign up at one commune.com

and follow my regular exhortations on Instagram at Jeff Krasno.

It's about a struggling, functioning alcoholic actor who serially cheats on his

living girlfriend. After realizing that he's been taking his girlfriend for granted for far too

long, he decides to cut the shenanigans. But she's been tipped off about the cheating and confronts him.

He reluctantly confesses and she storms out.
