Short story: A zen story about the zen of zen.

Steve Marshall @innertalks (11893) • Australia 5 May

The old Zen master, Maulick Maulvener, was getting old, and he wanted to pick a successor for himself, as the head of the monastery. He set up a series of tests for each one of his students to take, and the one that...

Short Story: John dreams of snakes

Steve Marshall @innertalks (11893) • Australia 2 May

[i]John Tuvenon was dreaming that he was on some small island, with some other man, and that this man had made a fire, and was cooking snakes, cut up into pieces on it, for them both to eat, as there seemed to be nothing much else...

Today was a good day. I'm thankful for the Y this morning. I had a good workout in the pool and fitness center. I'm thankful for remembering to get my medications on the way home and getting the small shopping done with the...

It's What do I Wear Season

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (241290) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 20 Apr

Last week we had temps in the 70s. This week we have temps in the mid-40s and 50s if we're lucky. It makes it hard to know what to wear. I check the forecast when I get ready to leave for the pool in the morning. This...

I have the notifications finished and time to get to work on Vendetta. My plan is to finish the book this week. I'm certain I can do it. It's coming along fine. I finished the read-through yesterday and made note of all the...

DianneN @DianneN (225579) • United States 4 May

I almost forgot! Today marks our anniversary of leaving our home in Florida due to COVID-19 for our home over 1400 miles away in Connecticut. Hard to believe it’s been one year! We left Florida and drove straight through the...

Andre Rieu on my telly box.

Sharon Elton @sharonelton (3647) • Lichfield, England 4 May

So, last night Andre Rieu was on the telly again, not once but TWICE! The first one started at 8:30pm, and was one of the documentaries and was called Vienna Memories. It was all about the different concerts he's done in Vienna....

April 16 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (241290) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 16 Apr

I haven't been here until now except to post the Daily Bible Study. It's been a busy day. I'm thankful for my time in the pool this morning. I didn't go into the fitness center. I usually don't when I do laundry. I'm thankful...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @moffittjc That's exactly how I write. It's a movie playing out in my mind when I write. Translating what I see to paper can be tricky at times. I'm glad you're back to playing paintball again.

April Full Moon

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (96202) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Apr

I saw the most beautiful full moon tonight, which I think was dubbed a pink super moon. As magnificent as it was, there was nothing pink about it. But it sure was pretty to look at. And I’m surprised, I didn’t have to deal with a...

Valerie J. Routhieaux @moffittjc I always enjoy looking at the moon. It always happens in the early morning on my way to the Y when it's still dark. I'm in bed before the moon is up at this time of year.

One Tree at a Time

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (96202) • Gainesville, Florida 27 Apr

Forgot to post this last Thursday, which was Earth Day, but I planted this little loblolly pine sapling in my backyard in honor of Earth Day. I usually plant at least one—if not more—trees each year on either Arbor Day or Earth...

Giving Up the Ghost

Jeff Moffitt @moffittjc (96202) • Gainesville, Florida 25 Apr

No, not me, if I was to give up the ghost it would have happened back when I had Covid a few weeks ago. I’m talking about my laptop. My 10-year old MacBook Pro finally died on me. I’m sad to see it go, as that computer was good to...

Today, I'm going to share with you something I have absolutely no use for. It's an article about how to give the best apology. The reason I have no use for it is that I have never angered, insulted, injured and/or offended...

"CREDIT" A WONDERFUL WORD. DO NOT ALLOW YOURSELF TO LOSE IT

Jose Gonzalez @profree2019 (840) • Barquisimeto, Venezuela 27 Apr

I'm sure what I'm about to tell you will seem strange to you, it seems inconceivable. My youngest daughter, Ebony, asked me yesterday a question that impressed me in that it is supposed that because of her age and studies, she...
