my working colleague with a guest on the cruise ship we work at. just a nice picture with many differences. well composed.
You could be forgiven for wondering which of the two walls in this photo was freshly painted and which was still bare lining paper.
The actual answer is that I had just finished painting the wall around the window. Even in real life, the difference was relatively subtle and it showed up even less well in the photo.
The paint seems to darken a bit as it dries, making it slightly less similar to the colour of the lining paper. This is just as well as otherwise I might as well not have bothered painting over it! (On the other hand, the paint should be a bit easier to keep clean).

I took these photos a few weeks ago and have meant to post them to flickr for some time - I noticed that their expressions were almost identical as I flicked through the shots in Lightroom.
Do you think they might be related to each other? ;-)
A little photo project, looking at photos I did years ago and then revisiting the same spot, trying to recreate the same image!

In connection with awareness, there is something we should understand about the relationship between open mind and discipline, maybe a difference between the two or maybe a cooperation between the two. In talking about open mind, we are referring to a kind of openness that is related with letting self-existing awareness come to us. And awareness is not something that needs to be manufactured: when there is a gap, awareness enters into us. So awareness does not require a certain particular effort. Such an effort is unnecessary in this case.
Awareness is like a wind. If you open your doors and windows, it is bound to come in.
As far as discipline is concerned, sometimes we have problems or hesitation in relation to the experience of awareness not being desirable. We feel somewhat uncomfortable about being in the state of awareness. It makes us unable to indulge in the usual neurosis, which is seemingly more pleasurable---or at least it occupies our time. But a state of awareness somewhat creates a sense of alienation: we are unable to keep going with our ego's hang-ups and with ego itself. Therefore, there is often natural repulsion of the potential of enlightened mind or of the enlightened mind itself.
This kind of discomfort always follows a state of awareness, and in many cases it could become exaggerated. You deliberately try to cast off that potentiality of enlightenment and a certain sense of fear connected with it that you don't want to get into. You might call this effort being conscious of yourself or being religious or whatever terminology you might come up with. But the whole thing boils down to this particular hesitation---you don't want to get into the state of awareness.
There is a definite psychological blockage here with a well-known case history, so to speak. There is a desire for the neurosis and less desire for the sanity. However, all the same, when we have been completely eaten up by insanity or neurosis, tremendously hassled by it, a superficial desire does arise to make a long journey to find basic sanity, a desire to seek out a teacher and read books about spiritual path. But then, when we begin to do it, to put the teachings into practice, the same resistance is still there. It always occurs; it is a common psychological hang-up.
For exemple, there is the naughty schoolboy mentality. You try to find all kinds of excuses so you won't have to sit and meditate. You constantly cook up excuses to evade the practice. "I have to tie my shoelaces. Let's take some time on that. I know eventually I have to go sit and meditate, but let's just take a little time." Or, "I have to make a quick phone call." All these kinds of little hesitations have their root in a neurosis of a particular type that doesn't want to give in to the possible state of awareness. That is the natural situation concerning obstacles to openness.
Discipline cuts through that---but not by regarding it as a big problem or a big hang-up. It just simply uses the resistance as a stepping-stone. From there you walk into the state of awareness. That way the resistance becomes more of a help or a reminder than an obstacle. This is a question of a real, direct attitude.

The difference between now and the spring when this place is so bright, colorful, and full of flowers
In Edinburgh the difference between summer and winter - in summer the rain comes straight down, in winter it comes sideways. It's rained for 17 hours so far today! Puddle at my feet as I waited for the bus to work.
Last year for spring break, I traveled to England...alone...without parents, with a school group. It was really great. No parents, no sibilings, now thats the life...for a week.
So this year, I'm going to the Outer Banks. (the same house they went to last year, without me, Caitlin, and Chelsea.) But this years spring break, is with parents and sibilings.
I'm excited, don't get me wrong. But tomorrow, I'm leaving at 6 am (to miss the traffic. BS! We're still going to hit traffic.) And on the way down, we're stopping off at Williamsburg. I've been there before, and I was bored out of my mind. It will be a "good learning experience." Too bad I learned all this stuff in 4th grade.
Well, have a nice break!
What’s the difference between being onstage and wearing a brightly colored outfit to work? Maybe we’re all performers more often than we think. Walker visitors wore original garments designed for ROLU by Various Projects, a design collaboration between Elizabeth Beer and Brian Janusiak, to experience what it feels like to be seen as an art object. The garments let others know of their “participation as performance.”
