Dear Friends of the #Unbroken,
… and the #broke. As we know the #world, our #experience, #resonance and #people, #parenting, #ecosystem, #politics, #ethicalcomputing, #co-operative #tendencies, people’s #art, you name it … are always #failing and #imperfect … or as some people put it. #Exactly as they are. #Always. #Perfecting.

Dear Friends of #Yama,
I like her #unexpected #scythe, her #dementor type #garb. Her angry #stomping.
As we may know, #death comes in #unexpected #forms, not always to those who deserve; The #innocent, the #pure, the by stander. The scythe cuts #wheat,
#chaff, #trees and #everyone.
#Today is a #good day to #Live, as the #Klingons might say (not in this #fantasy)
Just a #reminder to #prepare. We won’t be bringing what we stand up in. Your coin for the #river #Styx is #invalid currency. You can try #offering a #fish sole, shoo sole, soul solo. No use. The row is over. The furthest shore empty.
#Rest In #Peaces

IF… 🤣
If you can live without caffeine,
If you can be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,
If you can resist complaining,
If you can understand when your loved ones
are too busy to give you any time,
If you can take criticism and blame without resentment,
If you can ignore a friend’s limited education
and never correct him or her,
If you can resist treating a rich friend
better than a poor friend,
If you can face the world without lies and deceit,
If you can conquer tension without medical help,
If you can relax without liquor,
If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
If you can honestly say that deep in your heart
you have no prejudice against creed, color,
religion, gender preference, or politics,- Then you have almost reached the same
level of spiritual development as your dog!

Dear Friends, #Penguins and #Scholars,
Even though my #hardware is just about 64bit, I just auto #upgraded my #rolling #release. I am now #breakfasted (#fruit and #nut #dark #chocolate, #alchemical #masala coffee and four toasts to the #olde #gods, no knot whine or wine but #seeded #wholemeal)
Done my mourning and #morning meditation and chanting. Said good morning to #wikipedia, read some most #excellent #threads from the #unusual suspects. Looking forward to watching #DrWho (the transgender/#transtime and space but not yet #transspecies #superior #heroine.
Now it may be time, while still #dark to #seek some #Holy #Holly. #Breathe in the #rain and Bless the #whirled and #world with my #absence …
Dear friends of the #unexpected,
Later in the day, my sibling arrives for #homemade #flan (#savoury open #pie).
#Meanwhile … #Apple the well known closed #computing systemic #consumerist marketing is slowly wondering how to increase margins.
Personally I am moving towards #dried and #tested #Linux. More #Free software. And creating new AI (Actual Intelligence)
Do you want to improve the world?
I don't think it can be done.
The world is sacred.
It can't be improved.
If you tamper with it, you'll ruin it.
If you treat it like an object, you'll lose it.
There is a time for being ahead,
a time for being behind;
a time for being in motion,
a time for being at rest;
a time for being vigorous,
a time for being exhausted;
a time for being safe,
a time for being in danger.
The Master sees things as they are,
:: You see, it’s not just how you see the world that changes. To measure a system is to forever alter it: a physical effect on matter itself. Any object recorded or counted is subject to this distortion. The universe looked very different before the first imagination dreamed of numbers. No modern human eye has seen (or mind perceived) the unsubtized beauty of nature in tens of thousands of years. And yet, in the wilds of deepest wilderness, there are … refuges remnants of a metricless universe.
The Yule tree is up! I'm lucky that I have enough acreage to cut my own tree every year, and this one is special.
Seven years ago, I planted 25 balsam firs on the top of a rise where several ill spruce fell and made a clearing. So this is the first year I've actually harvested my own tree for the solstice offering.
After the season, the trunk will be cut off for next year's Yule log, and the rest will be chopped for compost and returned to the earth where it came from: this is an integral part of the sacrificial rite.
“Wisdom outweighs any wealth.”

Dear friends of #trees,
Our local council has just planted a field maple (#Acer campestre) outside our home. Apparently Batman does not like it, also the tree removes #witchcraft from kids. Are you meant to beat the devil out of them with twigs or call on Bat-gal?
… in fact I think the devil has been well and truly #vanquished.
Shame really. She has such a busy and painful life …
In other news just got some sea bass (Dicentrarchus labrax) for lunch. I am practically a latino with all my latin. El Papa aka The God Father, aka The Poop will be impressed and #Baby #Jesus too …
I can feel a few verses of “Away in a mangé” coming on …

Dear Friends of the #changed #Heart,
As we #know people #change from vice versa to its #opposite. We may also know #Truth and #Enlightenment has no opposite and is #infernal
, oops sorry … #Internal and #Eternal. Neither arriving or leaving …
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/topdown-enlightenment
Enlightenment can happen in different ways, such as through a #conversion process or a sudden change in beliefs. Top-down enlightenment starts with #opening the mind chakra, which can lead to understanding and changes in other aspects of life. However, it can also be #overwhelming and cause people to feel #crazy. It’s important to put enlightenment into #context and have #preparation to make #sense of it. Sometimes, #experiences from one #path can #resonate with another, leading to a change in #understanding. It’s all a matter of perspective, and views can change over time.
Are you ready for this? I don't think you are. I wasn't. Check it out: https://youtube.com/shorts/oUy03oeME8E?si=-Wcx0x_MC3mbyMln
Dear Friends of Stillness,
I am off to find some #holly to #decorate my #Holy Places … which is #everywhere …
Just in case you need a time of stillness, mince pie delciousing etc. Or/and just a break from the frenzied X-mass fervour … created a Podcast
https://audio.com/lobster/audio/stillness
… about the importance of #posture and #stillness in #meditation. They mention that #slowly #moving #exercises like the #salutation to the #sun can prepare the body for #sitting still. They also discuss different approaches to sitting, such as using soft #cushions or using the #Egyptian posture. The speaker emphasizes the need to find a #comfortable posture and not force oneself into a position that causes pain. They mention that with #practice, stillness of #mind and #calmness can be achieved.

Dear #New Friends and Minders,

#DailyBloggingChallenge (132/200)
This week I have been working daily on the #MyRuckClub app; from creating a new social media presence, all the way up to creating my first short video clip on #odysee.
The initial goal was to go full #OpenSource from development all the way to social media presence. The only place where I lapsed is on the social media part and diverged onto Instagram. The main reason being that most future users live on that platform.
#Heretical #Buddhist, a wer-lobster living in South #London. Main practice at the #moment is finding closet #Buddhists ...
Glad to be here or anywhere …
