I met and talked with Jony Ive over coffee yesterday. He is a legendary designer behind the iMac, iPod, iPhone, iPad, MacBook, and he's a great human being who I've looked up to for a long time. We agreed to do a podcast when I'm back from Eastern Europe. Life is beautiful.

I saw hundreds of destroyed Ukrainian homes today and spoke with people who lived through the hell of it. Amid the pain in their eyes and in their words, the beauty and power of the human spirit shines through. The things I saw and heard today will stay with me forever.

I meditate on my mortality every day when I wake up. I imagine that this is the last day I get to live on this Earth, because one day it will be, and that day could be today. It helps bring clarity about what matters.

I'm grateful to be alive. Life is beautiful.

I love you all.

I went to the war front in Ukraine to feel the war directly and to listen to the people who are living through it. This experience gave me a deeper understanding of pain and love, and has strengthened my belief in the human spirit. I'll publish what I recorded in a few weeks.
