Danser sur l’eau
L'eau n'a pas de forme, sa nature est de couler. Si vous la mettez dans un vase, elle prendra la forme du vase. Dans une coupe, elle prendra la forme de la coupe. Si je la verse dans mes mains, elle prendra la forme des mains. Mais l'eau n'a pas de forme. Et c’est pareil avec la conscience qui est plus subtile que l'eau. Comme elle, elle n'a pas de forme par elle-même ; mais elle prend la forme de n'importe quel concept dans lequel elle est versée ou auquel elle s'identifie. Comme elle, […] -
I Live Mid-Inhale All My Life
Thoughts come and go, like inhaling and exhaling, but often a single thought gives rise to an endless chain of events without respite: opinions about ourselves and others, memories, desires, and predictions. Does our brain breathe, or is it in a constant panic, gasping for air into overfilled lungs? How can we bring constant freshness to our minds without effort, since even effort is a thought?

A quotation from Arthur Conan Doyle
Beyond the obvious facts that he has at some time done manual labor, that he takes snuff, that he is a Freemason, that he has been in China, and that he has done a considerable amount of writing lately, I can deduce nothing else.
Arthur Conan Doyle (1859-1930) British writer and physician
Story (1891-08), “The Red-Headed League,” [Holmes], The Strand Magazine, Vol. 2, No. 2More about this quote: wist.info/doyle-arthur-conan/8…

Quelles sont les limites de la science?
Jean-Philippe Uzan est un cosmologiste français, directeur de recherche au Centre national de la recherche scientifique. Il a obtenu sa thèse en 1998 sous la direction de Nathalie Deruelle, puis obtenu un poste au laboratoire de physique théorique de l'université de Paris XI à Orsay. Il a par la suite été affecté à l'institut d'astrophysique de Paris. Lors de la conférence "The Causal Universe" organisée par le Copernicus Center for Interdisciplinary Studies professeur Uzan a été […]https://dandanjean.com/2026/08/12/quelles-sont-les-limites-de-la-science/

Most problems offshore don’t look like problems at first. They look like “slightly off.” That’s how you learn to pay attention.

La Vérité est un pays sans chemin (Krishnamurti)
Krishnamurti La Vérité est un pays sans chemin Aucune organisation, aucune foi, nul dogme, prêtre ou rituel, nulle connaissance philosophique ou technique de psychologie ne peuvent y conduire l’homme. Il lui faut la trouver dans le miroir de la relation, par la compréhension du contenu de son propre esprit, par l’observation et non par l’analyse intellectuelle ou la dissection introspective. L’homme s’est construit des images religieuses, politiques ou […]https://arbrealettres.wordpress.com/2026/08/03/la-verite-est-un-pays-sans-chemin-krishnamurti/

H/T @Seabed 2030
“🔍 For the first time, scientists have observed seafloor spreading in real time.
Seafloor spreading is the process by which new oceanic crust is formed at mid-ocean ridges - a geological process that has shaped entire ocean basins over millions of years.
During a research expedition in the Indian Ocean, scientists had just deployed a suite of instruments when a series of earthquakes triggered a seafloor spreading event, allowing them to observe the process as it unfolded.
The findings offer rare new insights into how new oceanic crust forms and how the seafloor continues to evolve…”

“Earth’s outermost layer - the crust - is constantly renewing itself. It’s broken into giant chunks called tectonic plates that pull apart, push against or slide past one another, creating grand geologic features.
Underwater mountain ranges, or mid-ocean ridges, for instance, generally take shape where two tectonic plates are moving away from each other. Magma can then bubble up in between, solidifying and turning into new oceanic crust as part of a process called seafloor spreading. Although the phenomenon has created entire ocean basins, it remains quite mysterious because it happens so deep in the water.
Now, for the first time, scientists have observed this dynamic activity happening in real time. They describe their findings - and their stroke of luck - in a study [link above], shedding light on a mechanism that made roughly two-thirds of Earth’s crust…”

'An observation is a verifiable fact gathered through the senses, whereas an opinion is a subjective personal belief or judgment that cannot be proven true or false.'
But I find my observation not only make me unpopular, but gets me banned on Mainstream Media. Especially FACEBOOK!!

The Silver Strand
returning
to the car
i see
a silver strand
intent on
capturing me
i was gone
but a moment
yet the spider
did spin
from the mirror
across the window
to lure
me in
it seems
this small one
dreams of
bigger prey
so too I
if to my path
I stay
this bit
of web
is a
flimsy thing
but if
I cast
it not
i snare
nothingJuly 2, 2016

Learning to Look Closer #2: Just Outside the Window
My nephew was standing at the window this morning when a tiny robber fly flew up to the glass. For a minute, it almost seemed like they were entertaining each other. It would fly away, then come back again, hovering just long enough to catch his attention. Every time it returned, he lit up a little more. Then it landed. I grabbed my phone, quietly walked over, and snapped a single picture through the window. One click. That was all I got. As soon as the photo was taken, it lifted off […]https://destinylaharris.wordpress.com/2026/07/22/learning-to-look-closer-2-just-outside-the-window/

Not the Same River, Not the Same Me
"No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man."— Heraclitus I heard this today, and it stayed with me. At first, it sounds like a simple observation about a river. But it's really about life. Heraclitus reminds us that two things are always changing. The river is never the same because fresh water is constantly flowing through it. And the person is never the same because every conversation, every success, every failure, every […]https://xinkblotz.com/2026/07/19/not-the-same-river-not-the-same-me/

How Curiosity and Creativity Became the Story of My Life
I don't remember deciding to become a creative person. I think I just never stopped being a curious kid. Like every toddler, I was convinced the world existed solely for my investigation. Everything deserved to be touched, tasted, shaken, stacked, thrown, or, if possible, taken apart. My parents probably called it "getting into things." I called it research. By the time I was three or four, crayons became my medium of choice. There wasn't much technique involved. My artistic philosophy at […]https://xinkblotz.com/2026/07/19/how-curiosity-and-creativity-became-the-story-of-my-life/

Yes… We Know It’s Hot.
People always ask, "How do you live out there?" Well... We complain about the heat for four months. We brag about the weather for the other eight. We have sunshine almost every day of the year. Palm trees. Winters that people everywhere else dream about. Some of the most incredible sunsets you'll ever see. And then... We have summer. Not the kind where you fire up the barbecue. The kind where opening your front door feels like you're checking to see if the Earth is still habitable. Where […] -
I’m Not Superstitious, I Just Have… Procedures
People throw around the word superstitious way too casually. I'm not superstitious. I just happen to know that if I leave the house, realize I forgot my wallet, and have to go back inside, the entire day is now operating under a cloud of administrative inconvenience. Coincidence? Maybe. But why risk it? And no, I don't avoid walking under ladders because of bad luck. I avoid walking under ladders because gravity has a 100% success rate. That's called critical thinking. Now, if I […]https://xinkblotz.com/2026/07/18/im-not-superstitious-i-just-have-procedures/
