Contemplative fieldnote:
An aesthetic triad:
• play
• skill
• beauty
Thinking of meditation as something deadly serious is spiritual materialism, it’s dead.
Working with emotions and confusion is a considerable matter, be we can lighten up a bit.
Why so serious?
(Side note: why we’re so serious isn’t a huge mystery according to Seligman and pals, who suggest it is a symptom of a cultural drive for ‘sincere’ meaning, authenticity, coherent order, purity.)

The great omelette thread of 2018:
I’m an omelette enthusiast. And this is the closest I’ve ever got to perfection.

Omelettes became a special interest of sorts when a kitchen I worked in had a competition. Winner takes the pot, £10 per entry. I won, but since then my technique has bloomed like a beautiful eggy flower.
I eat an omelette nearly every day, if I’m at home.
