Human beings cannot bear too much reality! For all our past certainties have lighted fools to a dusty death. Therefore, love, love brief candles!

Thoughts pass like clouds
I watch them drift, unnamed, free
I remain the sky

So far beginning to grasp that I am not my thoughts or feelings.

These things arise and they disappear.

I guess a progress of some sorts!

I wish I started this when younger 🤔

“I read x number of books this year!”

Hmm never read books to keep a score 🤔

Must be some new fad…

The world turns and we have no choice but to turn with it. The cycle repeats. And we begin again at the starting point…another cycle in which we have the chance to liberate ourselves from all our woes…

Buddhist Heart Sutra

Gate gate pāragate pārasamgate bodhi svāhā.
Gate gate pāragate pārasamgate bodhi svāhā.

Namo Avalokitesvarāya
Paṭipajjati gambhīraṃ paññāya pāramitāya,
Passati pañcakkhandhā suññatāya sabbena,
Atikkamati sabbadukkhaṃ.

Once you can observe your thoughts without engaging with them, you begin to realise you are not your thoughts 🤔

You are not your jealousy
You are not your hatred
You are not your anger

I read this book when I was young. Never understood what it meant.

But it turns out that he translated Buddhist insights into scientific evolutionary cosmology 🤔

Past two nights have been difficult with the flu!

Flu is a virus.
Inert on its own but if it manages to get inside a cell it can replicate rapidly!

This is known as dependent origination in Buddhism.

Ancient wisdom meets science! 🤔

Here's a video showing off some of the movement mechanics in Speck.

Speck is a rolly bouncy momentum platformer with secrets, puzzles, a story; all that good stuff.

I've got lots of development videos from the start so I might make a thread showing how we got here.

Hey! Just starting on my #game development journey. I've been a visual artist & writer for a good while now, and #gamedev is something I've had a curiosity for. It feels like it has to happen, so here I am! I'm going to be sharing my progress, and I would love to get to know you and your work.

Spending any time in malls drains me! 🤔

On the other hand spending any time nature uplifts me!
