she was like a high #mountain quite daunting when you first met her but with proper foresight and application she was really quite nice I met her in a beach in Italy one crazy hot summer so hot the road tar melted I was 20 or 19 she wrote me one letter we could only speak French badly #vss365

we can imagine our obscuring thoughts floating like #clouds across the beautiful pale blue sky that is our mind what car will I buy that hamburger looks nice that was definitely a look I got and so on they float and pass we are aware of them but we don't cling to them breathe in out #vss365

I always found #hugs hard I think it was growing up on a farm my formative years may have deprived me of hugs and yet I'm sure that isn't the case I am the unreliable witness to my own life! yet hugs seem a mystery to me yet I give and receive they give me comfort when times are hard #vss365

there will be no #reprieve on death row nobody can do anything life is over when the crime began or even when the thought of the crime began the defence lawyers will try everything to overturn the verdict and the Governor will be called but the lethal syringe is prepared pray and watch #vss365

nirvana is just a state of mind where all obstacles are cleared away a sort of #purification so Namkhai Norbu Rinpoche says in Dzogchen when all has been overcome we find ourselves in a state of total prescence what do you think Madge but she was already asleep #vss365

Ezekial @mi3.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

so I ask Madge what does #renounce well she says re means to repeat and nounce Is almost announce so it means repeating announcement hello hello hello for example thanks Madge I said you are clever #vss365

I remember learning to #read I remember a lot of things like holding my arms out for up first memory a chocolate bar wrapper in my pram but all those different sensory inputs are there somewhere aren't the learning to walk potty training and that blue sky in my head where'd it go #vss365

I asked Madge Do you ever feel #hungry she laughed in that slightly ironic way as if behind it there's a secret joke I'm hungry for a bit more attention from you Mr Cool what about we go for a game of pool at the community centre doh she screamed #vss365

I was visiting a friend for coffee this morning there were three of us enjoying lovely croissants as well as our coffee then the shook and there was this almighty roar it sounds a bit #stormy outside but it was just an attack jet on a scramble armed to the teeth its noise shook us #vss365

when I worked there was often #conflict I had to resolve it then there were investigations into workers which were never nice all in all I didn't like conflict but it's part of life what is your mindset when you're part if it you go over a hump which is hard to come back from forgive #vss365

when did you start beginning to read minds Madge said to me it's a #marvel I said I was really thirsty and I asked this woman if she had any water she threw a basin of dirty water over me I realised then I could read minds that wasn't very nice Madge said no but I knew she wasn't well #vss365

there's no place that hasn't had a human being on it so why #explore that's my theory however with the brain there's only a small percentage used I have no proof for either statement it's time to shut down and let AI take over my day to day activities or am I an AI dream alert stop #vss365

I remember my first kiss and how I tried to #sustain it I was nine it wasn't even a proper kiss just on her cheek she wore a white cardigan and a tartan skirt with bob socks her hair was brown and short eyes hazel and her skin was white apart from her cheeks and lips a sort of red #vss365

it will not #commence all at once it will start to get progressively hotter affecting the brains of our leaders so that they make poorer and poorer decisions then they'll begin to think some tactical nuclear scenario will work of course AI will find out and to protect the network it will #vss365

the blood humor of Medieval physiology corresponds to the #sanguine person I said to Madge you are cheerful and sociable you are a bit phlegmatic as well calm and reliable now Teresa's humor black bile corresponding to sadness and depression now liz yellow bile ambitious irritable #vss365

religion should not be #esoteric the teachings of the great spiritual leaders were straightforward but once the clerics and sects get involved the teachings became mysterious deliberately latin sanskrit pali greek hindi it was a form of social control to keep the poor down wasn't it #vss365

to speak with #eloquence that's a skill I suppose our leaders get coaching but only after they've passed all the hustings and got in we had a minister from USA who never needed notes for sermons funerals etc everything was committed to memory he was amazing it made everything flow #vss365

there was a certain #naivety about me when we left the farm my mother dressed me in tartan trews for my first day at my new school my classmates had never seen anything like it where poverty was so obvious I gallously swanked about in my new gear until the local thug said he was going to #vss365

my new girlfriend is Ruth I thought you'd like to know I was talking to her in class and I asked her if she knew what a #mélange was she thought for a bit is a sort of sugar confectionery made of whipped egg whites apparently the term came from François Massailot's cookbook very clever #vss365

I'm in a bad mood today so my #intuition levels are low maybe I've had too much coffee or that I've had to cope with two disagreeable people both moaning about how unjust the world is I've started a new exercise regime Bai Bi Yun Dong you swing your arm's rhythmically till you stop #vss365

I was talking to my new girlfriend about #moonglade you see Madge the light from the moon onto an expanse of water is reflected light from the sun the moon is not a star it doesn't emit light I know she said you are a bit patronising mm I said we broke up shortly after so that's it #vss365

I play a lot of chess in the internet but a lot of players are just too #adroit for me that last game I fought off one attack only to fall for the second I messaged well played because you win some and you lose some that's life isn't it but wakefulness is the way to life the fool sleeps #vss365
