mindful and calm

The good and the bad are everywhere all the time. While reading stories and watching movies there are always heroes and villains in these endless dramas. There are always Don Quixote and Sancho. What am I? What are you? A mixture of good and bad. That’s all. What if we stop dividing us into black and white? One teaching of Budha is now and here. What does it mean? No regret and guilty for the past. No fear and anxiety for the future. Mindfulness is nothing but observing some unnoticed details before. Breath in and breath out. Be there all the time with ones and things you love. The key is your complete focus on the activity you are doing. ...

Toit on m5core2

Build some examples in toit and flash it to M5Core2. There is no problem to follow the steps in one toit discussion. While trying the step4 for ft63xx. Found a typo in package.yaml. mpu6886 should be ft63xx. Another issue is that the touch seems not working after unplugging the USB cable. Will investigate further. Will try jaguar tool later.

mass delusion

“Of special importance is the case in which substantial numbers of people, acting in concert, try to assure themselves of happiness and protection against suffering through a delusional reshaping of reality. The religions of mankind too must be described as example of mass delusion. Of course, no one who still shares a delusion will ever recognize it as such.” “We never have so little protection against suffering as when we are in love; we are never so desolate when we have lost the object of our love or its love for us. But this is not the last word on this particular technique of living, which is based on the value of love as a means of happiness: there is much more to be said about it.” ...

Why I write

Had my credentials been in order I would never have become a writer. Had I been blessed with even limited access to my own mind there would have been no reason to write. I write entirely to find out what I’m thinking, what I’m looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear. Why did the oil refineries around Carquinez Strait seem sinister to me in the summer of 1956? Why have the night lights in the Bevatron burned in my mind for twenty years? What is going on in these pictures in my mind? ...

友谊是什么

这是旧作重发。 如果你读了我那些关于人性之双重性的笔记,你或许会喜欢诗人David Whyte关于友谊的观点: 友谊的根本不在于改善,不是你变好,也不是她(他)变好。友谊的根本在于见证,一种被人关注的特权,同时也与人以关注特权,且行、且看、且信任,有时仅只陪伴,旅途或许短暂,却不可能一人独自行走。 The poet David Whyte said that “the ultimate touchstone of friendship is not improvement, neither of the other nor of the self. The ultimate touchstone is witness, the privilege of having been seen by someone, and the equal privilege of being granted the sight of the essence of another, to have walked with them, and to have believed in them, and sometimes, just to have accompanied them, for however brief a span, on a journey impossible to accomplish alone. ...
