In the illusory dream-like existence of samsara,
Amidst the unstable, mirage-like spectacle,
Free from attachment, strive towards the sublime Dharma.
It is the meaningful practice that embodies the essence.

‘ab urbe v[e]n[i] munus tibi

acul[eat]um ut habe[a]s memor[ia]m nostra(m)
rogo si fortuna dar[e]t quo possem

‘I have come from the City. I bring you a welcome gift
with a sharp point that you may remember me.
I ask, if fortune allowed, that I might be able (to give)
as generously as the way is long (and) as my purse is empty.’

Some things never change!
A 2,000 year-old Roman souvenir pen with a joke inscription roughly equivalent to:
“I went to Rome and all I got you was this cheap pen!" 😂
Dated to about 70 AD, this iron stylus pen was found in London during excavations by MOLA. 📷 MOLA

Konkret, logisk og biologisk nødvendig konsekvens av regjeringens naturskog-kart.
I dag foregår halvparten av all flatehogst i naturskog. ikke all denne skogen er like verdifull, men skogbruket ser ikke forskjell, og store miljøverdier tapes før de engang er kartlagt. www.nrk.no/rogaland/mil...
It took me more than 4 years to capture a scene I could only dream of. A magnificent Condor soars above the peaks of Argentina's Mount Fitz Roy, as they are spot lit in beautiful morning light. 🪶

A fragmentary clay tablet with broken lines of text preserved. At the bottom is a multicoloured ruler showing that it is about 7cm wide. On a blank portion is written in ink upside down “K. 5968” and right-side up “k 9334”, meaning that these are two different fragments joined together to make a fragmentary whole.
I’ve spent most of my life steeped in anxiety, and one thing that made me feel less alone was knowing how unsurprisingly not new anxiety and related experiences are.
It’s in fragments, but this is one of many clay texts from ancient Mesopotamia that describes anxiety (possibly depression)
Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come.
‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair.
Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
Word of the Day is ‘uhtcearu’ [ucht-kay-aru, with the 'ch' as in the Scottish ‘loch']:
Old English for ‘the sorrow before dawn', when you lie awake in the darkness and worries crowd your mind.
A group of researchers have recreated the clothing of medieval Nubian royalty and clergy from the wall paintings in the cathedral of Faras, which sits at the border of modern Egypt and Sudan.
