The Dust Will Settle at TaoSpring

-


My understanding and experience of meditation
is to let it be whatever it is;
you just remain silent, without any concern,
without any judgment,
without making any appreciation or condemnation.
Soon all the dust will settle,
and you will be left behind in your immense glory,
in your tremendous beauty,
in your peaks of consciousness.

well, it's quite a rational statement for meditation. More often i found (even now)I contemplate rather than meditate. But it's different. The contemplative state may be compared to a bee buzzing around a flower,about to alight on it and sip the nectar from it, the state of meditation is reached when the bee is already seated on the flower and has begun to taste the sweetness of the nectar.

Even meditation is different from reflective reasoning. reasoning is satisfied if it merely achieves a clear conception of things, whereas meditation seeks a direct perception of them.

Meditation is to me, is the greatest of art. One who can meditate whether on God, attributeless thing or like Zen or Buddhist way, is the greatest artist, greater than Leonardo d Vinci or Shakespeare. I think we can agree on that point that the greatest difficulty a man faces is to empty his mind. It's an art to do that.

TaoSpring - pallet chicken coop

-
Image
I had less than a month to build a suitable coop and chicken run. I had very little money to work with. Having seen many coops and out buildings that people have assembled using scrap pallets, I thought that I would give it a try. Starting with two 4 x 8 pallets as the floor, I assembled all the available pallets that I could find. This is the frame of the coop. It will measure approximately 8ft x 8ft. Saltbox style roof will be 9 feet at the front and will taper down to 8 1/4 feet in the back. My inspiration is drawn from the bottom photo   seen here. I varied the plans to accommodate the unevenness of available pallet size. In a perfect world a 4' x 4' pallet would make pallet building as easy as playing with Lego's. Unfortunately downsizing has effected everything. Most pallets now measure 48" x 40" and the solid 4' by 4' pallets are usually reclaimed by their owners. Oh, they're out there, but I am looking to build for as little

Seasons - garden update

This summer has been very unusual. But I've seen it all before. There are times that the seasons act according to form and there are times that they don't. There have been more days of rain and clouds than sunny summer days. In point of fact, we had warmer days in May. We got started rather late but as you can see things are progressing in spite of all the wet weather.

I hate bad news

Sunday morning......Saturday night was spent around the fire with about ten people, little scotch, little beer, good conversation, shrimp, cheese & crackers, sliced apple and smoked gouda. So, getting up this a.m. was a little difficult and then the phone rang. It was my oldest daughter. My niece's baby died. Her father was holding her on the couch and gave her a bottle at 11 p.m. When he awoke, she was beside him on the couch dead. They don't know if he slept on her and she smothered or died from natural causes. She was 2 months old. We don't see as much death in little children as we once did. We have very old cemetaries tucked in throughout New England with many little children, sometimes from the same family that died from disease. This kind of death is different. How does anyone deal with this? If it is ruled an accident due to smothering, how does the father manage? How does my neice ever be able to look at him? Damn, I hate bad news......
