Great vid. “Our hearts are restless until they rest in you, oh Lord” -Saint Augustine. I think you have found the evidence of mind of the Logos in the transcendentals and the way it orients you to the Logos himself is awesome. God Bless it and Christos Anesti.
I like a lot of these takes, however I want to challenge you on the aspect of travelling "for your toddler", to give them experiences. You are the one who's had this epiphany after all, not your child. So be mindful that the environment your child will want to grow up in might be more materialistic, more settled, than you think is good for them/is what they truly want. Bear in mind that wanting lots of toys is normal for a child and withholding that from them when all the other kids have so many may not have the effect you're hoping for. I'd go so far to say sometimes it's right to make questionable parenting choices if it means treating your kid the same as it sees other parents treating their child. The reason why I'm saying this is because my father shared/shares a lot of these views you've just stated and although in retrospect I can understand his thinking, that doesn't mean I agree to the choices he made in my upbringing as a result.

God bless brother! Timely comment, I am reading Augustine's Confessions currently.
