Guilty pleasures on a wet afternoon πΏ
Tuesday, February 11, 2020
We have been having a lot of cold, wet and windy weather here in Maui. A couple of days ago my grandson came down to visit late afternoon. It started raining outside and his parents were heading out to do some grocery shopping. So I decided to put a movie to watch with him. We watched The Croods, an animated film. Great fun following a stone age family as the continents started moving.

Meditation as a Toolbox
Friday, February 7, 2020
There is a Tibetan saying that just as every valley has its own language so every teacher has his own doctrine. ~ Paul Williams, Mahayana Buddhism While this saying contains many exaggerations, it speaks to the variety of Buddhist traditions within old Tibet. In the same way meditation is not just a handful of techniques, but rather a multiplicity of methods that have evolved over the millennia as those who have used meditation have found the need and want for that development.
It’s a shame that the subject for todays photograph post was not water, rivers or puddles or something similar. There was torrential rain this morning where I live on Maui, and rivers and puddles appeared in no time!

I know that my travels across the internet get tracked such that I see advertisements for things that I have searched for in the middle of other sites that I visit. But now I am seeing advertisments on my iPhone for places in Japan that my wife has been researching on her iPad!
Reflect π·
The cliffs at Ho’okipa.
I saw Just Mercy last night. One of those movies that I come home from and start reading up on the history behind the story. Sad and hopeful. A reminder of good people out there doing important work. I recommend seeing it. πΏ
Hhhmmm? I posted a photo half an hour ago. If I go into my account online I see it, but it does not show up on my timeline in the micro.blog, Sunlit or Icro.

I’m no expert at doing odd jobs around the house, but I always have a sense of pride when I successfully complete a job and know that I have also saved myself a few pennies. It also gives me the confidence to try the next job when that surfaces.
Stepping out of Retreat, and Valuing Solitude
Saturday, February 1, 2020
I share here an experience from a few weeks ago. I stepped outside, I made it into town for the first time for two weeks. The world appeared so vivid and colourful, so bright, so varied. I was reminded that the world carries on regardless of whether I am a part of it or not. That was freeing. Through unplanned circumstances I had spent a week in relative solitude. Let me explain.

I feel that I need to trim my RSS feeds. Too much there and not enough read. I think that I’ll trim them back to essentials (it will be interesting to see how easy I find that!) and then build back if really needed.

I’m considering exploring Mastodon, but I’m unsure where to start - ie which instance to use. Can any Mastodon users here on MB offer me some guidance? Maybe recommended clients to use - OS X & iOS. Thank you.
