What is our relationship when we live together in a house, as husband, wife, friend, or whoever it is? What is our relationship? Is it based on thought? Which is also feeling – the two cannot be divided. If it is based on thought, relationship becomes mechanistic. And for most of us, the relationship we have with each other is mechanistic. By mechanistic, I mean the image created by thought about you and about me – the images that each one creates and defends, over a number of years or over a number of days. You have built an image about me, and I have built an image about you, which is the product of thought. The image becomes the defence, the resistance, the calculation, building a wall around myself, and as I build a wall around you, you build a wall around yourself, and you build a wall around me. This what we call relationship, and it is a fact.

Swimming with Manatees in the Wild

This winter I got the chance to swim with wild manatees in Crystal River, Florida, and it was truly a dream come true :) I made a little video and blog post about it:

You cannot live without relationship; life is relationship. However much one may want to isolate oneself for neurotic reasons or for some form of specialisation, one is still in relationship. So relationship is of the highest importance. There is no relationship if your daily activity is centred around your own egotistic activities. There is no relationship if you build a wall around yourself because you have been hurt, or because you cannot have what you want, or because you are trying to fulfil yourself in a particular activity. There is no relationship if you are tethered to a strong belief or a conclusion, either one given by another or one you have put together yourself. There is no relationship if you belong to one group as opposed to another, or if you have committed yourself to one course of action based on a rational or irrational conclusion. There is no relationship if you have an image about yourself or about another.

We never see the world as a whole because we are so fragmented, so terribly limited, so petty. We never have the feeling of wholeness, where the things of the sea, the things of the earth, nature, the sky, the universe, are part of us. Not imagined – you can go off into some kind of fancy and imagine that you are the universe, and then you become cuckoo. But break down this small, self-centred interest, have nothing of that, and from there you can move infinitely. And meditation is this, not sitting cross-legged, or standing on your head, or doing whatever one does, but having the feeling of the complete wholeness and unity of life. And that can come only when there is love and compassion.

Just over a month ago I was called to have a Lung Cancer Screening, as I am an ex-smoker!
On Monday I received a letter to say that as part of the scan they had noticed 'a degree of hardening of the arteries', they stressed that this doesn't mean I have heart disease, just that I am at greater risk.
For this I thank them

However the letter didn't say anything about Lung Cancer, which was the purpose of the screening!

Today I received a second letter from them, printed same day as the first (thanks Royal Mail), which gives the Lung Cancer Screening result and I need to get another scan in about 3 months as it doesn't need immediate follow-up or further investigation! The letter a;so mentions the hardening of the arteries and gives the same advice as the first letter.

At least it isn't an immediate rescan etc.

"FVD'er Van Houwelingen ook in hoger beroep veroordeeld voor nazitweet.
In het bericht stond een nepafbeelding van toenmalig ministers Kuipers en Van Gennip met een hakenkruisvlag."

Right.

1. Álle tweets van Van Houwelingen zijn nazitweets.

2. Ook al is Van Houwelingen een nazi die we zeker moeten vervolgen, deze vervolging slaat nergens op.

3. Maar in dit land vinden we de beschuldiging van racisme / nazisme véél erger dan actual racisme / nazisme

4. En de rechter bevestigt dat.
Van Houwelingen wordt niet veroordeeld omdat hij al jaren de nazi uithangt, maar omdat hij iemand anders met nazi's heeft vergeleken.

5. Wist je dat slechts zo'n 70 mensen per jaar worden veroordeeld voor discriminatie?
Terwijl jaarlijks maar liefst 1/4e van de bevolking discriminatie ervaart.

Waar vervolgens ook nog eens institutionele discriminatie overheen walst, van instanties die weigeren daders te vervolgen.

Maar noem niemand racist!
Dan krijg je een veroordeling aan je broek.
Dat speelt niet alleen sinds kort of alleen bij de extreemrechtse Van Houwelingen, maar bijvoorbeeld ook tien jaar geleden al bij dit linkse gemeenteraadslid, die slechts een zeer terechte constatering deed over racist Nawijn: namelijk dat Nawijn een racist is.

Dát mag je niet zeggen van de rechter. #Discriminatie mag je bijna altijd gewoon doen, maar niet benoemen!

To be attentive implies that there is no distraction. When you are attentive, you take in the whole, not the part; you see the people, the colours, the light, the shapes. You are aware and therefore attentive. In that attention, there is neither the observer nor the observed, because there your whole being, your mind, your body, your nerves, your ears, your eyes – everything is attentive. Therefore, there is no division. In that state of attention, there is an observation of oneself. Therefore, there is no condemnation of oneself. Therefore, you are learning.

Motorhome Power System: 6 Mistakes - videos.trom.tf/w/9bivUa41wQJYf…

These are the biggest mistakes I made with our power system for the motorhome. So far nothing too severe, but these mistakes are the reason why we ended up with such a complex power system.

From buying the wrong power station to blowing up the car relay, these are the mistakes I made 😄.

Breaking: Trump promises mass pardons to all of his staff before he leaves office.

He says everyone who came within “200 feet of the Oval Office” will be fully pardoned for any crimes committed.

Impunity for people in power is the surest path to atrocities and dictatorship.

I guess most western media and politicians will now try to get impunity as well, in stead of stopping this monster.

Need for Alt Text


I am on a friendica instance that allows me to see images with #AltText (or rather not see images WITHOUT AltText), because there is a setting which says
"Hide pictures with empty alternative text (Don't display pictures that are missing the alternative text.)"
So this is what a visually impaired person would receive - how do you describe the image that has (presumably) been posted?

p.s. If there is no alt text shown here it is because I have posted from my laptop. I will check on my mobile and update the image and text there!
