Giving people consumable gifts frees the gift receiver from the responsibility to display, store, watch, read, listen to, or wear the gift prominently. If they like the gift, they consume it and it's gone. If they don't like it, they trash it or someone else consumes it. No problema.

Fainted in my bathroom on Sunday night, ribs still sore, a night lost to hospital tests. Today, a patient spit on me and bit my hand. An ill wind!

Eno diary, 18 Nov 95: "Sorting out CDs. I have so many, no idea where most came from. It’s so easy to make ‘sonic landscapes’ now..millions of people at it. A whole technology exists for it..by the time a whole technology exists for something it probably isn’t the most interesting thing to be doing.

So glad I learned to read before that went out of style.

in tonight's #meditation ... practice phrases like ... "just don’t pick and choose" "if you try to approach it you go away from it" and "have no gaining idea" ... led to an appreciation that ... the way things are otherwise known as the fact that there is anything is the meditation

Don Hamerquist: “The essence of anti-fascist organizing must be the development of a left bloc that can successfully compete with such fascists, presenting a revolutionary option that confronts both fascism and capitalism in the realm of ideas and on the street.”

Did a late evening qigong practice. It was refreshing. I felt my mind quiet in a way it hasn't for quite some time. A release of pent up emotions followed along with a sense of freedom with an opened heart.

‘Awen’ - Tilly Campbell-Allen

The space of our wisdom Has no extreme or middle. The dominion of the Dharma Has no outside or inside. It is unborn. It is not still. It is not attached. It is spontaneously realized. ~ The Tantra on the Seven Wisdoms Of the Great Perfection of the Bodhicitta

Every situation we are part of invites us to taste the plasticity of our identity, our capacity to be moulded and shaped by events since we too are but a series of events. ~ James Low

After many years of being "not a movie person," I have come to find I like a few directors quite a bit. Not coincidentally directors I encountered in my 20s, but still interesting that some part of me was watching closely even when my sense of self was detached from my vision (in grey depression).

"A former United Nations special rapporteur who investigated Israeli abuses against Palestinians says he was interrogated by Canadian authorities on “national security” grounds as he travelled to Canada this week to attend a Gaza-related event."

Great day to be alive, supported by teachers, friends, and the wild.

A couple years ago I worked on 12 grants in my role as a task force director at the Library of Congress. This year, zero. We are going to lose a lot of our public memory. Which is at the crux of fascistic mobilization.

One of the finest JGB shows, particularly set 1, and there are multiple very good to great audience recordings available. There's a SBD for set 1 but it's inferior to the good audience tapes

We settle into the experience Of the Dharmakāya’s own clarity. We see a wisdom that is beyond our thoughts, An intent of self-originating perfection That is clear by itself. ~ The Tantra on Awareness Arising by Its Own Force

Major evolution in the GZDoom community tonight - the regular contributors finally had enough of the project lead, who had been very hard to work with for a long time. He dug in and told them "If you don't like it, go and make your own fork." UZDoom is now live here. github.com/UZDoom/UZDoom

🙂 🙏 ... This has now reminded me, when Buddha-dharma came to China, the word the Chinese used for "emptiness" was the same they used for "sky." Lots of discussions of emptiness in Buddhism, of course, but to me it's a form of *honest presence*— always already here before we start making stuff up.
