Colchicums (Autumn Crocus)
Well, it’s been a long dry spell this summer. The ground is as hard as cement, and only a few things are blooming. The colchicums don’t seem to mind at all, nor do the sedums.
The quote of the week:
“If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.”
– Ludwig Josef Johann Wittgenstein
- You, too, can have a free meditation timer from zencast.org. They also have one for iPhones. Basically a starting sound, a sound in the middle and one at the end, with silence in the middle. Now you don’t have to estimate how long you’ve been meditating.
- A proverb for every situation.
- Casa Batllo in Barcelona, Spain. (Note to self… need to go to Barcelona)
- Twitter hashtags that didn’t make the cut.
Love the picture! I remember September dirt in VA. Now a question – if in meditation I seek timelessness, why do I need a meditation timer? Was your tongue in your cheek while typing?
All I can tell you is that it’s really annoying to be experiencing eternal timelessness (or whatever) and smell the rice burning
Y’ know, that makes sense. And Sandy tells me that learning to meditate, to really think of nothing, to master your thoughts, has to be done in small steps. So I stand corrected! Besides, as I recall from an especially enjoyable theology class, time exists within timelessness, not the opposite.
