Woden's day
Everything is usually harder than it first appears.
Yesterday I had a clock to go with the last post. Today, it doesn't appear on the preview. I'm not looking again, though, till I finish with this.
Christmas is still continuing! I got a new computer desk today. This does, however, change my ways of doing things - so, adaptability is the key.
Right now, I have too many projects to work on. I'll have to continue tomorrow.

At one time I was very interested in Buddhist thought. That was many years ago, but my interest returned in 2005, while reading the Dhammapada.
Last night I was very impressed reading some of Dogen's thoughts. I will be adding more of his quotes in future blogs.

Enlightenment does not divide you, just as the moon does not break the water.
You cannot hinder enlightenment, just as a drop of water does not hinder the moon in the sky.
- Eihei Dogen
When you find your place where you are, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point.
When you find you way at this moment, practice occurs, actualizing the fundamental point; for the place, the way, is neither large nor small, neither yours nor others'. The place, the way, has not carried over from the past and it is not merely arising now.

I really have too much on my plate to pay much attention to the upcoming federal election.
I do agree though, with comments that the Liberals mishandled their campaign.
Instead of coming out strongly and listing their accomplishments, they chose to portray Stephen Harper as a scary bugaboo, while Harper's camp smoothed over his rough edges.
Harper has youth on his side - a strong point in any election.

The Windows GUI interface over-emphasizes the mouse.
I've found that typing the first few letters of a program or file or folder to open it, is faster than any mouse-click combination.
Hot keys are great for a few things; too many, and you have to worry about conflicts. Too many, and you'll forget them.
I'm glad I took touch typing in school

The great tragedy is that the vast resources available on the internet are being used so sparingly. Just look at the subjects people are searching for.
Hope springs eternal though, and the possibilities for mental and spiritual growth are enormous.
