To my Portuguese friends here on Micro.blog with little ones - I’m thinking of @Portufraise and @maique, and also others who I have overlooked - I have just read this story, Santa shortage in Portugal and I’m thinking of you. I hope that you make it through this Christmas season without too many tears. π
I had a strange dream last night which involved ActivityPub, something which until a month or so ago I knew nothing aboutβ¦Iβm only just getting my head around it now.
Anyway, in the dream I was interacting with someone who appeared to be in two places at once and it was because the person had activated ActivtyPub for themselves. The person could interact with both places that she (I think that the person was a woman) was in, one being fixed, the other being somewhere else - with the fixed place itself appearing to be elusive. I could interact with her, but she kept on fading into the other place, while still being in the fixed place. Yes, I was confused as well.
Iβm not sure of the meaning of this, but the dream stayed with me after I woke up, and that is unusual for me.
November 2022 Hello and welcome to the November 2022 edition of my newsletter. I write this sitting outside at dusk. I look out on the shadows of the night, as lights from distant houses break the darkness. Itβs still. Very still. The wind of last week, and that which helps to keep these islands cool, has blown itself out. I sit listening to the crickets, to a distant dog bark, occasional traffic on the nearby highway (a two lane road running the length of Mauiβs north east shore).
Iβve written about this before in relation to meditation, and it has been prominent in my mind again. As such I felt like reflecting on what the message is that accompanies this instruction at this time.
Goals With any given meditation instruction I find it is very easy to imagine where I should be on the completion of such practice - that is if completion is a thing with regard to meditation.
Today has felt like a winter’s day in Britain. Constant drizzle, low hanging misty cloud, and now thunder. The only difference? Although there is a definite drop in temperature, winter has arrived here in Maui, I have been walking around in shorts and a t-shirt.
