one of the street artists around here is James De La Vega who does street aphorisms that are temporary in nature, in chalk if on permanent fixtures, or in ink if on temporary or ephemeral things like trash. one comes across them one day and it brings a moment of curiosity and surprise

Hmm, sure but watching gets one only so far, y’know? and if it’s real, I kinda want to leave folks alone to enjoy themselves, and if it’s not real, then what’s the point? I mean, fantasy and imagination are great, but that’s the problem, fantasy and imagination are better than fake intimacy, and real intimacy is just that, intimate. So I don’t really want to *watch* it. Gender notwithstanding.

Dr Gerald Pollack’s retelling of the history of water and memory is really well done, and it puts a mighty peculiar slant on that history as an added bonus. Dr Pollack’s lab is in your neck of the woods, I believe. At UW Medical School.

Yes this is the way of it. Begin with a teacher, and in person—not remotely, not from a book, not from video. An experienced teacher will be able to impart the practice to you with an eye to any challenges that will arise, and will set you up to continue on your own afterwards. This is how meditation has always been taught, and it is this way for a reason. Every person has their demons and their specific conditioning. A teacher must be able to see/hear you in order to teach you.

A daily practice is the goal I think. Even short times practiced diligently make a cumulative difference over time. I think retreats are magic and that sustained meditation is powerful, especially collectively, but for householders, for people who must live in a worldly context, a shorter daily practice is possible and good.
