Thisness…

From here to there

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 20:54:02 +0000

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 like making every post was an endurance test.

I still have a basic micro.one account which acts as my Fediverse presence/ account but I’m not entirely sure I’ll post much there. I will, however, continue to use micro.blog to follow social accounts.

My new RSS feed is here.

I’ve gone and moved my blog. If any of you good people happen to follow me via RSS here’s the new feed.

Fiddling with wires and switches here, not really knowing what I’m doing 😂. . . Maybe if I switch the internet off and on again…? 🤷‍♂️

So we got beat by a quality side and some stunning individual talent. Fair play.

Attention now turns to the derby against the Mags next Sunday 😬. Happy that Xhaka and Sadiki came through un-carded 😅.

My principle is: for heaven’s sake do not be perfect, but by all means try to be complete—whatever that means.

Even suffering is a part of our basic goodness. It brings us into direct contact with reality, cultivates compassion, and builds great inner strength when we deal with suffering skillfully.

I’ve watched her lose so much, but her attention is never on what has been lost. It is always on what is here now.

Concepts can be discussed forever without needing to put any skin in the game at all—but when this aliveness is cut, it bleeds.

So finally our beloved Toast went to sleep forever this morning. She kept on trucking right up until she just couldn’t anymore. Great sadness but also wonderful and happy memories, particularly for our son to whom she was so close since he was six. Clocking in at a whopping 16 years and 9 months she absolutely rinsed her innings. Goodbye old girl 👋❤️

It’s easy to succumb to the soothing embrace of words and language when often we’re really falling into a trap.

A must read from Damien Echols.

It’s far easier to imagine a demonic cabal pulling the strings of the world than to admit that most suffering is caused by ordinary human greed, apathy, and unconsciousness.

See what you are. Don’t ask others, don’t let others tell you about yourself. Look within and see. All the teacher can tell you is only this.

…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 than the simplicity that remains when all claims fall away.

Our problem is not that we keep coming up with answers but in believing any of them are THE answer.

You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself.

To inhabit silence in our aloneness is to stop telling the story altogether.

A political situation is the manifestation of a parallel psychological problem in millions of individuals. This problem is largely unconscious (which makes it a particularly dangerous one!).

Unfortunately there can be no doubt that man is, on the whole, less good than he imagines himself or wants to be.

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 is this which lifts them out of their distress.
