  • Pawpaw fruit!? A tree on city property that was planted by local stormwater folks.

    Jump

  • This is definitely a pawpaw flower. Should smell like meat and be pollinated by flies!

  • I would have that entire recipe if you are willing...

  • Unhappy orchids in semi-hydro - Why? (Experience report)

    Jump

  • The orchids that we (my wife, primarily) have managed to keep going for some years have all been in a bark substrate. Orchids live naturally up in the crooks of trees and so wet feet aren't a common experience for them. We water ours by placing ice cubes on top of the bark and letting it melt in slowly to water. I truly think the roots need to be dry at least part of the time.

  • This is hilarious, but I legitimately think there are a lot of people in this very position right now. Unfortunately I think it works exactly the opposite of this. Once we stop worrying about the world and focus on our own mental health, the world, inexplicably at first, gets better.

  • What aspects of other religions do you incorporate into your own "Practice"

    Jump

  • I'm a year late answering this. I also have a strong atheist background, but, through finally starting to take therapy seriously, began to have weirdly spiritual feelings sometime last year. This led me an official spiritual awakening in October, at which point I discovered Buddhism and their fetters model of the whole awakening/enlightenment path. I like their model over the others I've looked at because it is so well thought out and methodical. I'm also enjoying the YouTube channel, Simply Always Awake, which also takes a very non-deistic stance on the whole endeavor. One thing I thought was super interesting from my research was that pretty much every religion has some tradition of enlightenment and they all overlap almost perfectly in the details. If you read the Gospel of Thomas, the Bhagavad Gita and the Buddhist Sutras, the language is very similar. As far as I can tell, the rest of the religious trappings are just window dressing draped on that framework.

  • Really good so far but MAN that one part came out of left field

  • The Talk Nobody Wants to Hear ~ Charlotte Joko Beck ~ Zen Buddhism

  • This is an excellent talk! I needed to hear it just now. Thank you!

    what do you actually write in a journal

    Jump

  • I've tried journaling a few times and always fail on this exact thing. None of my thoughts seem important enough to jot down and just describing my day feels very ego-centric. I think this is actually one of the realizations of mediation and awakening/enlightenment. Most, if not all, of what the mind does is irrelevant, and documenting it only gives credence to the irrelevance. To the extent that progress in meditation leads to the death of the ego, it sounds like you are on the right path.

  • We towed it outside of the environment.

  • CPD: More than 30 people arrested ahead of planned street takeover in Bond Hill

    Jump

  • Not just Cincinnati. This is common in a lot of Midwestern cities. Young people block off a street with their cars and do donuts and shoot fireworks and generally make a nuisance of themselves. Typically the police don't get involved for some reason. In this case they really cracked down and I'm very happy about it.

  • I'm interested in how your Valentine's plan turns out, since there are 3 opossums in this picture!

  • Favorite Tasting Notes in Beans?

    Jump

  • I think it has to do with longer bean fermentation periods. I haven't really looked into how they accomplish it, but it is like a miso or other fermented flavor that adds complexity. I usually have to sweeten those coffees, or add some cream to balance it out, but I do enjoy the flavors once I get them toned down a bit. I can see myself building up to drinking them black eventually.

  • Favorite Tasting Notes in Beans?

    Jump

  • Chocolate, nutty and some fruits. Anything floral or herbal is a no-go for me. I have been liking some funky coffees lately. I have also gravitated away from dark roasts to medium and light.

  • Is there a point that you're just too traumatized that your brain is just forever scarred, unable to even basically function?

    Jump

  • I don't know, but I do know that there comes a point where you no longer have enough space mentally to stand and do the work you need to do. I suspect that there is a point where someone's story of suffering consumes them so totally that even a very qualified therapist, or maybe the Buddha himself, couldn't pull that person back from the brink. That power to heal has to come from inside, and at some point that person may just fully believe that the power is spent. It can't be spent in truth, but that doesn't matter if the belief exists that it is spent.
