Wow.
I'm not sure I could manage 10 social encounters every day.
3 online meetings for work leave me drained.

Maybe I am just a recluse with a deep need for quiet and solitude who enjoys contemplating life. I thought that meant I was an aspiring hermit.

I always wanted to go to East Cliff,
more years than I can remember,
until today I just grabbed a vine and started up.
Halfway up wind and a heavy mist closed in,
and the narrow path tugged at my shirt:
it was hard to get on. The slickery
mud under the moss on the rocks
gave way, and I couldn’t keep going.
So here I stay, under this cinnamon tree,
white clouds for my pillow,
I’ll just take a nap.

Han Shan (Cold Mountain) tr. J. P. Seaton

“The Good Life” book review in :

“Loneliness is not solitude; it is perceived social isolation. People suffering the pain of are experiencing less positive social contact than they would like. favor more social interaction and far less. But voluntary are rare.”

As a Linux user I have virtually worked with fascists. The shame of it. Fascists are not nice people. Many people are not 100% nice. Some do not even know they are unkind, discriminatory, cliquey, partial, privileged etc.

I discriminate against: gamers, frivolity, americans, atheists, immaturity, influencers, journalists, stoners

More importantly I ally with: , , , , , , , , , , , 🫶🏿🪷🦞🫂

Interested to hear from people - whether life’s or those still seeking love - who have moved from cities to areas and successfully built a new life. Particularly to areas they’ve had no prior connection with. Most stories are about couples and families. What about the witches and wizards? Point me to blog posts / news stories etc!

Re that last boost about Herms - here's an old blog post of mine from 2012 titled Hermes and the Heap of Stones - it's definitely an area that sets the mind racing, as indeed it did mine! supersededotcom.wordpress.com/

The trivia painting will post later today, for now here are two paintings I made over the summer on Hermit Mountain in Erving Massachusetts.

From 1867 - 1899 John Smith, otherwise known as The Hermit of Erving lived in a cave just below where I was painting.

Here's a recent article about him:

"When alone, I have often felt as Thoreau or Emerson did -- that what was to be noticed was that the dandelion or mullein is not separate but a localized manifestation of the undifferentiated; the inspection of one's surroundings yields not things but a happening. "

"Hermiting and meditation have a lot in common, and of course hermits are often meditators. They make a kind of wisdom progress, though that's putting it badly. Wisdom does not build or progress, it's simply revealed by the studied and applied omission of distractions. One peels away the unnecessary, and that which was wise but poorly understood remains." 10/x

The routine is to put some water in the reservoir of the rice steamer, water and grain and veggie powder and salt in the bowl in the steamer basket, and set the timer. One then does morning service (sometimes this is in the afternoon) and a meal is ready by the time this is over.
