Ces paysages qui nous lient et nous lisent

Savoir que je peux monter derrière la maison, sans croiser la moindre automobile et venir admirer ce paysage, c'est mon luxe. La route qui serpente mène à la sous-préfecture. Villefranche de Rouergue. Il faut apprendre les virages qu'ils montent ou descendent et ne pas user les freins. Tout ici vous oblige à reconsidérer le temps. L'impatience est vite punie. Je n'ai pas terminé de l'apprendre. Mais c'est déjà #samedi ? Allez joyeusement ! Mais pas trop vite !

The Skeptic's KaddishApr 10

Not a bit, or: Spent

I once kept them like loose change—
like having a buck to give;
then, I gave my last one away
bad luck—I hadn't noticed;
someone starts complaining—I reach—
my pockets turn out—sucked dry

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

We have now reached the point where I have to be restrained from digging around in the tomato pots to see if they are growing yet. If only I could attach a debugger to them.

This from Larry Wall (of Perl fame) seems relevant...

The Three Virtues [Paraphrased]

1) #Laziness - The quality that makes you go to great effort to reduce overall energy expenditure.

2) #Impatience - Because you are impatient, you will build systems and shortcuts for your daily work.

3) #Hubris - You have the confidence that you can do better than the status quo.

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Our anger and annoyance are more detrimental to us than the things themselves which anger or annoy us.
 
[Ὄγδοον, ὅσῳ χαλεπώτερα ἐπιφέρουσιν αἱ ὀργαὶ καὶ λῦπαι αἱ ἐπὶ τοῖς τοιούτοις, ἤπερ αὐτά ἐστιν ἐφ’ οἷς ὀργιζόμεθα καὶ λυπούμεθα.]

A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest.
