Linkage
I’ve been hanging out with Ashley Cooper and Thomas Arthur this week learning how to juggle, playing Uno and Yahtzee and using the advantage of new eyes on the island to see things in a delightful new way. Both of these two lovely people have that gift.
And as a result of spending time hanging, there hasn’t been much blogging, but I have been doing some reading, and here are the latest things I’ve noticed:
- Animals laughed long before humans arrived on the scene. They haven’t been laughing much since then.
- Here’s a heck of a question from generationsit:
Forget what Buddhism, Christian Mysticism, Vedanta, Hinduism, etc. have told you about the nature of existence and your own awareness right now. Let�s pretend that each one of those traditions�due to bad translations, collective delusion, and culturally-specific factors we�ll never understand�is totally full of sh_t. Let�s also pretend that the theories on Emptiness, Nirvana, Godhead, Nonduality etc. are also completely wrong, outmoded, and outdated (and, for me at least, boring). What, in your own words, is your deepest experience of this moment right now? What new spiritual theory could we synthesize if left to our own devices? - Wild Thoughts Magazine: an online journal of environmental writing
- Jack Ricchiuto has sold his little house on gassho avenue and bought a bigger place on jackzen boulevard. It seems he’s opening a optician’s practice in the basement.
- The Lady’s not for burning
- Free Throat Singing Videos, including all kinds of traditions
- Dave Pollard contributes some expansive thinking on conversation. Welcome to my world, Dave!
- Bernie DeKoven reflects on the legacy of New Games:
“The search for the well-played game is what holds the community together. But the freedom to change the game is what gives the community its power.’
