Seeing in the dark
Sitting this evening by the window, with the small sparkling lights of traffic flickering down the garden from the road beyond, there seemed to be no border, no place in myself or in the luminous dark beyond the glass where I could find an end or a beginning. Great upwellings of thought came and dispersed, leaving no memory I could discern in that moment. Somehow it was as though a crystalline space surrounded me; and yet I was that edgeless expanse just as much as I was the almost motionless body whose weight now rested in an immeasurable skein of gravity conditioned by who knew what accretions of mass and causes, out beyond discerning.
“The spiritual warrior fights darkness not other humans”, said Tara Brach in a recent podcast; and yet it is not a fight as anyone would think of combat. It is merely a settled intent to understand, to love, what is – David Jones‘ “…for only what is actually loved and known can be seen sub specie aeternitatis“. Jones is referring, I assume, to Spinoza’s use of the phrase: to see something sub specie aeternitatis being to understand it as a part of the infinite and eternal substance – God or Nature (Deus sive Natura) – beyond the constraints of time and place. (Ethics 5, p23s)
To sit in silence, and to love what actually is – this is possibly the most revolutionary act we are capable of. And yet even to say that is a thought; but what it represents is not. It is no thing; and to see it is to be no more than the night air, and the evening star over the leafless hazels. Only be still.

By jove, am I embarrassed or what: Did not bother to see this when it came out (in the 1890s) as I foolishly thought at the time #TwinPeaks could not be improved.. even with a prequel.
Why was I not informed #Starman #DavidJones was in it AND #ChrisIsaacs? Darling #DavidLynch, what an #auteur, a true #AmericanTreasure who left this decaying experiment, not a moment too soon. -
Even #DavidJones - that Australian bastion of middle-class-ness - is now a lost cause. Used to be a reasonable place to find foodie xmas gifts. Now? Not so much.
I might just end up baking shortbread this afternoon.
Joke. Joke.

Objevil jsem twitterový účet tvůrce jedněch z nejúžasnějších her ve vesmíru 😀.
A pak jsem zjistil, že jediný účet, který používá je na facebooku 🤔.

Local MP #DavidJones #ClwydWest has an appalling voting record in the house. You would think the man was not for people or country.
His recent record hasn’t changed either.

PSA: Please be mindful of long loose clothing near #escalator or #travelator end teeth. Just had to press the emergency stop and run 🏃♂️ to borrow scissors from #DavidJones at #WestfieldDoncaster to cut the bottom of a person’s dress to help free them from being completely stuck 😅
