Despite the weather I’m determined to get out for a run today. Haven’t been out for trot in days and am really feeling it.
Out and about today doing chores, running errands and getting shopping in the most horrendous rain! 😂
From there to here
I’ve moved my blog thisness.one from micro.blog over to Scribbles. Micro.blog is great, don’t get me wrong, but for someone non-technical like me, it felt...
Good evening.
Nothing is primary or foundational. Chicken? Egg? Neither and both. Everything is simultaneously co-emergent.
Fiddling with the wires and switches here, not really knowing what I’m doing 😂. . . Maybe if I switch the internet off and on...
It’s not about being right or true. It’s about just being.
There’s no poetry here, only pain.
Good morning.
Good evening.
Good afternoon.
Good afternoon.
Good morning.
I’m three years off what might be called old and was wondering why I seem to have skipped the mid-life crisis part and then I...
Back home and fed after a twelve hour shift. Rewarding but tiring. Picked our son up from the station too and had a great chat...
So finally our beloved Toast went to sleep forever last week. She kept on trucking right up until she just couldn’t anymore. Great sadness but...
“…but this is hard to talk about, even now. Not because it’s mysterious, but because it’s ordinary. Too ordinary. And nothing is harder to convey...
Our problem is not that we keep coming up with answers but in believing any of them are THE answer.
Good evening.

Good morning.

“People are never helped in their suffering by what they think for themselves, but only by revelation of a wisdom greater than their own. It...
So Toast has been prescribed some additional strong painkillers by the vet for her arthritis flare up. We’ll see how things go but it’s only...
“Peace comes not from the absence of conflict, but from the ability to cope with it.” — Carl Jung
Just back from the first run in what seems like weeks but is probably only a few days. Bad weather and ill health stretch time....
I do not know what this is nor can I say what this is so I simply leave it as it is.
“To understand something, we must approach it without any sense of condemnation.” — Krishnamurti
“All of humanity’s problems stem from man’s inability to sit quietly in a room alone.” — Blaise Pascal
I haven’t been to look at the river but the brook at the side of the house is now a noisy, raging torrent.
Our individual identity is the least of us.
The levels of the river and brook are rising quickly and there’s another 12-15 hrs of this rain to come…
“Why are you unhappy? Because 99.9 per cent of everything you think, and of everything you do, is for yourself—and there isn't one.” — Wei Wu...
Here comes the rain.
At first we think we need to add something, then we think we have to subtract something and belatedly we realise we don’t need to...
Very soggy drive to work this morning. Minor localised flooding has begun. There’ll be some respite as it’s not raining tomorrow but there’s 24 hours...
Watched: Trespasses 📺 Excellent. A different perspective on The Troubles and Gillian Anderson is superb.
It is said that AI doesn’t know what it’s doing or how it’s doing it. I would suggest that neither do we.
LLMs are programmed to provide an answer (cannot remain silent when prompted) and cannot say: ‘Don’t know.’ There is no silence, no space, no doubt....
