Well, it's a busy life being retired, energised by having nothing to do but read, write, think, not think, walk, talk, walk some more ... and for sitting meditators, please note, this one prefers to walk and maybe not try to meditate but be open to the possibility that meditation may happen spontaneously, which is nice ...
As for walking, the snow really opens up the mind, and since it's snowing hard outside, the legs are already twitching, raring to go for an hour or three ...
But first, some mundane issues ... like the pandemic crisis, fuelled by devious media ... this War is not as dangerous as the previous ones, ostensibly ... bloodshed and carnage are not seen, though those wars do continue, as they have for ages ... being a peaceful warrior doesn't lead to torture, or hasn't so far ... so, the game is played with subtler weapons, reading to stay alert and informed to stay ahead of corrupt experts, ironically dubbed Sage, plus AI assisted social media, getting smarter by the minute, using algorithms to twist our words, borrow our identities to confuse our friends and allies and so on ...
Leaping briefly from the mundane to the supra- mundane enables equanimity to retain perspective and confidence in the victory to come, since Love always wins ... and weirdly, Allies appear almost daily, in the Dale and virtually... a risky business but risk is essential ...
Multinational corporations, entities accorded human rights but devoid of Soul, are also devoid of regulation, and take full advantage of their power ... for example, Amazon Prime, a clear scam which traps the unwary in direct debits hidden from your bank account, stolen every month ... fyi your poor national bank has teams of human beings solving your issue, though reluctant to call a scam by its name i.e. a fraud, for fear of litigation ... other corporations are in the same game, so stay alert and ask your bank for details of all direct debits hiding off your statement but popping up there monthly, annually or whenever. ... small amounts multiplied make fortunes for the thieves ...
By the way, the blog you're reading sits freely on a platform owned by another multinational and who knows? the small print may well stop the blogger from calling a fraud a fraud ... let's see?
The game goes on, new allies await to reinforce the troops ... it's still not clear who's our Leader, maybe all of us, but it's certainly an opportunity to test our mettle, maybe an examination in the great cycle of Life School ? Surely, some revision will be required at every stage ... onwards and upwards! The fells await, covered in snow and when the Sun shines on it that's the closest to Heaven for me, this time ... in the mind at least ...
