To My Duties

While I’ve been doing my job
stone by stone, quill by quill,
winter has passed, leaving
empty places
and dead rooms.
I work on all the same.
I really should replace
all those things I’ve forgotten,
fill the darkness with bread,
inspire hope again.

The dust of the season,
its harsh rain, are all I deserve:
for myself I claim nothing more than all space
and the right to work there, bearing witness to spring.

I must have something for everybody
day by day and week by week, gifts of the blue variety
or cool blossoms from the woods.

First thing in the morning, I’m going strong
while others have sunk
into sloth or lovemaking.
I’m sweeping out my bell tower,
polishing my tools and my heart.

I have enough dew to go around.

/Pablo Neruda from: ODES TO OPPOSITES

"Dezinformācijas teorijā to sauc par akcentu pārlikšanu. Nevis būtiskais prevalē pār nebūtisko, bet gan ar akcentu pārlikšanu autori padara nebūtisko par būtisko."

Šodien pirmā diena, kad stresa līmenis tik augsts, ka nevienu brīdi neprasījās paslinkot. Žēl tikai, ka mans organisms parasti uz to reaģē ar saslimšanu. Rīt jāmēģina nedaudz ilgāk pagulēt.

Interesting take
Es te šobrīd vairāk citātus, vnk ir šis tas uzradies pēdējā laikā, jāpieraksta, lai nepazūd.
But many people say they have tried meditation and failed. Here are some common complaints about meditation:

I can’t do it. My mind wanders. I can’t sit still. I can’t concentrate that long. I fall asleep. I have too many noisy thoughts.

If your first attempt or first several attempts at meditation resulted in any of these thoughts, then congratulations — you’ve meditated!

Many people perceive meditation as a magical moment of transformation. But meditation isn’t about perfection. It’s about awareness. Being aware that your mind wanders, that you’re tired, that you can’t sit still, that your mind is racing — that’s the point of meditation.

No šī viedokļa:
Notice the five senses.

Start by taking a few calming breaths.

Now, see five things around you. It can be items on your desk such as a lamp, a notepad and a pen, or trees and rocks as you take a walk.

Touch four things — the fabric of your clothes, a book, a leaf, the cat.

Hear three things. Notice a dog barking, the click of a keyboard, laughter in the break room.

Smell two things. Sniff the air, the detergent smell that lingers on your clothes.

Taste one thing. End your meditation with a bite of chocolate, a piece of fruit or a treat from the office candy dish.

Vakardiena bija traki jauka. Tik no rīta pamodos ar domu, eh, cik labi būtu, ja vilibalža gatavoto pastēti varētu dabūt arī brokastīs.
Mierinājumam - kihelkonnas slavas dziesma holesterīnam. Non, je ne regrette rien.

Atkarībā no tā, vai to ir viegli uztaisīt un vadīt, šis varētu būt the next big thing un riktīgi pamainīt, kā un kas notiek pasaulē pēc, teiksim, kādiem 15-20 gadiem:

Scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a programmable metafluid with tunable springiness, optical properties, viscosity and even the ability to transition between a Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluid.

The first-of-its-kind metafluid uses a suspension of small, elastomer spheres — between 50 to 500 microns — that buckle under pressure, radically changing the characteristics of the fluid. The metafluid could be used in everything from hydraulic actuators to program robots, to intelligent shock absorbers that can dissipate energy depending on the intensity of the impact, to optical devices that can transition from clear to opaque.

Piefiksējot veselības kaites - biju uz trešo triecienviļņu terapiju plecam un kaut kādā neticamā kārtā tas tomēr palīdz, un vismaz naktīs vairs nav jāceļas no sāpēm.
Šodien noņēmu arī trīs dzimumzīmes. Špricīte, špricīte un hops - laimīgu taciņu.
Drīz braukšu uz Ameriku. Gribas.

Pagājušajā nedēļā tik daudz kas notika, ka šodien, skatoties kalendārā, biju manāmi šokēta, ka sākas tikai otrā aprīļa nedēļa.

Biju pārliecināta, ka jau otra puse iet. Nekas, šonedēļ arī jāpaspēj būt visur.

At this point I'd figured out what you need to put in grant proposal to get the money. And that's what I did.

I applied for grants on research projects, because it was a way to make money, not because I thought it would leave an impact in the history of science.

It's not that what I did was somehow wrong. It was and still is, totally state of the art.

I did what I said I'd do in the proposal, I did the calculation, I wrote the papers, I wrote the reports, and the reports were approved. Normal academic procedure.

But I knew it was bullshit, just as most of the work in that area is currently bullshit and just as most of academic research that your taxes pay for is almost certainly bullshit.

The real problem I had, I think, is that I was bad at lying to myself.
